Horrible Noise when slowing down / braking

Hello,

Just got my land rover back on the road (well, no MOT yet - going to fail, but driving) drove her on a straight today up to about mid 40's and was fine, until I took my foot off the throttle then a horrible grinding noise appeared. worse at higher speeds when deaccelerating. Tried to pinpoint the noise, but not sure, think its from the back of the car. Was stuck in 4wd drive mind, would that make a difference?

Looked at the UJ's on the propshaft, all seem ok..

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Matt

Might do - drive chain wind up would certainly worsen any existing noises. Try it in 2wd. Did you put any oil in the rear diff?

diff

Took out of 4wd, replaced diff and slackened transmission brake off...still doing it. I have raised her a bit, could this be making the prop work harder? Im at a real loss here.. Any help would be greatly recieved..

could do remove rear prop and drive in 4wd on front and try it could be output shaft bearing/s in transfer box,

Mine does the same - and is lifted too.

I took the rear prop out and it stopped doing it, so it's either the prop grumbling due to angles (even with new UJs) or something in the transfer/gearbox complaining. The previous owner had the prop lined up wrong (wrong phasing) which didn't help - since fixing that it's better but still there...

It's not the diff - I tried with a different one and it was just the same
