Hello.
I have been trying to sort this out for a while, time to ask the professionals...
We have had the freelander (2006 TD4 FL1) for about 8 months now. There seems to be a grinding noise that keeps getting louder the more we have had it. Its def louder when it is cold and kind of hard to ignore now!
I would describe it as a bearing noise, but coming from the middle of the FL, kind of where the VCU is. I checked the actual bearings and they were fine.
DLS did a VCU health check a couple of months ago and said it was fine, but the IRD was a bit noisy. Whatever that means!
I just took it to another garage for their opinion and they couldn't work out what was causing it, but thought it could be the VCU (most customers take off the prop and leave it as 2WD apparently, I said no thanks!).
Are there any parts that are known to cause the grinding noise? Any ideas what to try now?
