strange noise, help

stevered · Feb 5, 2015

hi guys, I have a discovery 2 and I have a strange noise when I de - accelerate its like a metallic rumbling, it only happens when I de-accelerate and go's away if I push the clutch in
or take it out of gear I also have a front wheel bearing gone but don t think its that it seams to be coming middle under the middle of the car

check diff flange for play (ie showing wear in the diff pinion bearings)

hi jamesmartin

I was driving through France and it just started I had been driving though 600 mile of rain is the a way to test it?

try moving prop shaft and se if you can get flange to move ,there should be no movement except rotational

noise on over run is usually front diff pinion bearings ,it can be in the transfer box but diff is first option, over run would have no effect on clutch

is it a big job and is there a way of knowing before for strip it all out

by feel and checking for play

but would it not still make a noise when I push the cluch in or take of gear when its moving

when you push clutch pedal or put box in neutral you take the pressure off the diff bearings ie no engine braking

sorry take it out of gear

thanks and I will have a good look at it, so should I take of the prop to it and test for play up and down
