Noise from gearbox/transfer box

NeilsWheels said:

Hi all. I’ve just been on my way home and pulled up at a junction. When I pulled away my discovery started making a noise, like a screaching, coming from underneath. I pulled up and put it in neutral and engine was fine, but when I put it in gear, it came back. Car got me home fine, but noise is still there. I took a video, but not sure how to post on here. I put the transfer box in neutral and went through the gears and no noise. Car is a 2003 discovery 2 metropolis. Any help or advice?

Can you put it in neutral and coast to see if the noise is still there?
Could be brakes, U/J, gearbox, transfer box. Don't know if it is auto or manual but assuming manual. If manual could be thrust bearing (althiough that usually only makes a noise when the clucth is depressed) or the bearing in the flywheel whose technical name escapes me for the minute.
But I would seriously put it up on axle stands and turn all the wheels first, as it started just after you put the brakes on. Could be something as simple as a stone trapped against a disc, or a brake pad worn through and stuck to the disc.

It’s an automatic mate. The drive seems to be ok, just the screaching noise. Like I say, I took a video but not sure how to post.

At the bottom of the "reply" box is a paper clip next to the words "attach files" so upload it from wherever you have saved it.
