Hi. I’m new here but have already posted an introduction . My question is that I have just bought a 2012 Freelander 2 from a garage with FSH and 93k on the clock. They changed the cambelt and water pump for me and also put 2 new front tyres on, I’ve literally only had it for 10 days so it’s still under warranty as such . When driving on motorways or going at speeds above 40mph there is an almost deafening noise coming from the rear end that can only be described as being in a wind tunnel. The car itself drives very nicely with no other bumps or noises other than that. I have informed the garage and I’m taking it back on Saturday for them to have a look at. I didn’t notice it when I test drove it but then again I didn’t take it on a motorway! Any ideas what could be the cause so I can sound like I know what I’m talking about! My 20 year old disco 2 with 175k on the clock is not as noisy as the freelsnder2!

Haldex or rear diff fault.

New tires should go on the rear. The FL2 transmission can take out the difference front to rear, but ideally put new tires on the rear.
