No worries mate. I have booked you on the return of MH370.

Ha ha. Totally brilliant. I will try doing what you suggest ASAP. Once I have a grip of the gadgetie, thingie, brackety thingies is that the point I call the police??? Doctor??? Mum??? In which order?

GrumpyGel, Are you deliberately trying to take the **** out of me???(I know you're not but bare with me for comedy purposes). I have said I am not in any way technical. WTF are VCU support bearings, IRD's, UJs, CV's??? I think I would you be cheaper flying you over from New Zealand than trying...

Ha ha. That's more of a drone than a whine.

Yeah noise only happens when moving. As you suggested I revved up to around 4000 whilst stationary and it seemed ok. When tested it does occur when coasting down from speed(in gear, clutch pressed and neutral). Any ideas? How do I check all that Teddy? Sorry for me being a useless git.

PS Jam1. I know what you're saying. My first thought was to untie my mum from the boot. lol

Thanks all for getting in touch. The noise only occurs when moving. Tomorrow I will try and see if it happens when stationary and I will double check if it happens when coasting down in neutral or in gear with clutch down. Can't believe how helpful you guys are. It's very much appreciated. Cheers

Thanks AL203 and hd3. I will re-post where you guys have suggested. I'm struggling to pinpoint where it is coming from but it does seem to be pretty close to the bulkhead. I can't hear it with the windows opened. Sorry if that seems like a comment from a moron.

Hi there Folks. My name's Derek and I live in Rutherglen, just outside Glasgow. I have a 2006 Freelander TD4 S. I have watched the site for a few years but never posted cos I don't really have much to contribute I'm afraid. I am not in anyway technical or mechanically minded. ie. I resisted...
