Hi all
I have a pulsating noise that seems to be in the front, that I am trying to diagnose on my L322 3L Diesel year 2004.
I live in Glasgow and took it to a garage that are susposed to be experts in Range Rover called "Elite Range Rover" in Clydebank, South Douglas Street, however I was scammed as they charged me £110 and didn't even take it for a test drive ! They said the wiper blade was worn and there was wear on one of the front tyres which I advised them about before hand. The told me that they were unable to take it for a test drive because the wiper blade and worn tyre but I still would have to pay the £110, absolutely disgusting ! I politely asked if they could perhaps go 50% as they didn't test anything on my car, but they told me to f##k off and I need to pay or else ! so beware of Elite Range Rover - Clydebank in Glasgow and avoid like the plague !
What I have checked:
At first I thought it was a wheel bearing but I have removed both front wheels and do not feel any play on the bearing. I have another set of wheels so I swapped the front with different wheel and no change in symptoms so rules out a bad tyre.
I find that the sound seems to quieten when turning, but in a straight line it sounds like a pulsating noise, however I do not feel anything on the steering wheel?
If I shift to neutral to rule out the gearbox, there is not change in the pulsating sound.
Gut feeling is a drive shaft? I will place my gopro on under the car and see tomorrow,
Any advise would be great !

As said in your other multiple post, a noisy wheel bearing does not always mean there will be discernable play, pitting of the race will produce the noise with no play.
