Getting a whine from the front that varies with engine load and can disappear with a light throttle.. i think that means it's diff noise and not wheel bearing?
What did you do with your Range Rover today

Just imagine the insides of your inlet manifoldsThe new (to me) 4.4 has been complaining; "EGR Flow Insufficient". So I decided to look into that and while I was there to remove the donut intake and inspect the rubbers to see if they were the cause of my sporadic low boost pressure issue. There was definitely a little evidence of EGR fouling to put it mildly.
This is what happens with low mileage, short journey cars but please don't get me started on the merits of EGR!
All nice and clean now. I scraped about 10mm of gunk off the MAP sensor while I was in there cleaning it too. I now have very reliable boost correlation errors so that is now working nicely again albeit highlighting other issues. Another step closer even if it feels like it's going slightly backwards sometimes.

Have you tried without the wife in the car?

It could be the dash mounted fan, the one you can get for £4.99 with super plus unleaded. It’s Thinsulate gloves and hats in winter.

Could be UJ on shaft Kermie. That tends to change sound/vibration depending on throttle applied

I can apply torque to it by hand enough to get a click click.. but the rear one seems to be the same, although all covered in heat shields etc. Both move back and forth too..
I suppose the shaft needs to come off for a proper inspection?

Possibly, I tend to take them off at the UJ but I had plenty of room under there and no panelling. 
Just be sure to mark it up for orientation and don’t drop the bloody thing like I did

Be careful how you say that.
First it’s CV type joints on the front and back, with a conventional UJ in the middle of the rear near the bearing I think.
When 1 of the front 1s went it was a clicking not a whine.
Oh and it’s not a simple 30min drop the prop job

Got the old gal back as promised today. Replacement FIP fitted and no more diesel leaks( Oh please gods of Land Rover heed my prayer).
The old one had been messed with, there was no woodruff key on end of shaft when old one taken off

Put it on four axle stands. Then you can feel for play in the UJs, diff & transfer bearings.
My project one has front diff noise. It did have slight play in UJs but changed them now.
Or drop props at one end & feel it while things are loose.

Eeee cv scares me. I'm used to what those sound like when they go on a fwd car. Definitely a whine/whistle type noise.Be careful how you say that.

Opened the windows when i went past a row of houses close to the street then a big brick wall further along. Couldn't hear it over the wind noise (30-35 mph) so it can't be too bad yet.
Good against the grain but might have the local landy guy have a look on his ramp. More idea what he's looking at than me and will be quicker

Peeled off the "Gangsta Tints".
I don't like black cars with dark tinted windows and mine just looked like a van! As it was parked in the sun and everything was hotter than Shania Twain in the late '90s I thought it would be a good way to spend some of my lunch break. They peeled off without leaving any residue which was a RESULT! I think it looks much better now and showcases the Ivory trim far more.
The other day, my neighbour walked past with his dog and asked if it was a 4.4 TDV8, I told him it was and a couple of hours later he returned and gifted me a timing kit for this engine saying it was used once for a job and he won't ever own one of these so I may as well have it.
If you need a timing tool set for the 4.4 TDV8 we can have a forum set here. We can share it if you want to borrow it, drop me a note and pay for the postage then return it when done.

I would suggest a deposit. Unfortunately a few tool sets have gone missing over the years which is why some are a little loathe to let them out of their sight.
