hi, i had this dodgy ringing sound(it sounds like i`m dragging a chain along) from underneath my disco now for a month or so, it only happens when the vehicle is moving and comes and go`s as it please`s, if i dipp the clutch it does go a little quieter. i notice the transfer box is leaking so have bought some oil for it could it be this? also i had a second hand prop fitted recentley and a mate told me the 2 arrows should be lined up on the shaft when fitted , as i didn`t fit it could it be that this isn`t right hence the noise?

I've had similar from disc guards, the metallic plates that get bent when off-roading so barely touch the discs ... and from a front prop with a nackered UJ ... and from the little exhaust heat-shield between the turbo and inlet pipe ... but it could be from anywhere that something metallic bangs against a tube, of which you have the props, axles, chassis etc etc ...

Mine had that - sounds awful some days but can't even hear it other days! It was a wheel bearing.
A few weeks before I had a similiar nasty noise and it was the front prop UJ.

Both are easy to diagnose by shaking the suspected component.
