Hi all..just bought a very good condition 2006 freelander from a friend.i bought it knowing it had a small problem somwhere underneath..The vc had seized on it with him..so he changed the rear diff.and vc and the 2 bearings either side of the vc.The car still has bearing noise from somewhere am i right i thinking that the only thing left is the transfer box?The noise is still there when the car is taken out of gear.Ive looked through the threads and i dont think anyone mentions the noise been there out of gear.thanks

Sounds like a noisy first motion shaft brg, is this in neutral? Clutch engaged/ disengaged

If it’s always there, whether clutch depressed or not, then you should be checking alternator brgs, steering pump brgs, and the auxiliary belts tensioner brgs. Also check the crankshaft damper pulley

So..took of the entire prop and had a look at the new bearings and one is grumbling..they do look new .
Thought id check the ird oil level and guess what..yup stripped the head..wot a pile of crap..and yes i did check the threads on here before stripping it..lol
Going to order a new bearing now from somwhere
