Could anybody offer any advice locating the cause of a moaning noise
from the rear when cornering. Vehicle is Disco II with ACE fitted. It
seems to be from the rear-left, especially when the body starts to
roll coming off roundabouts. I had a quick look and couldn't see
anything obvious.

Thanks
James

Jimmy,

To stop the moaning noise from the rear, ask the mother-in-law to sit in the
front seats.
Hope that sorts the problem.

Check it's not a wheel bearing, they can moan under cornering some time.
Jack up the wheel and see if there's any play.

I had this once on my Disco I and it turned out to be the nut holding the
rearmost exhaust pipe mount coming loose... Easy to fix, but
embarrassingly, I'd already replaced the wheel bearing by that time

Thanks for that. I will check the wheel bearings and exhaust. It's
in for service today and an independant mechanic (I'm not paying
dealer prices). They might spot it!
