Hi Guys have a problem with my Discovery 3 when driving it makes a high pitch whining noise. It makes this sound through gears 1,2,3,4 doesn't seem to be on gears 5 and 6. Stop the vehicle and let it idle / rev it and the sound is not there. I have a video of this but cannot seem to upload to this site. Does anyone know what this is?

Have you checked the transmission fluid level? Could be a little low

Is it the turbo whistling?
You may not hear it in higher gears due to wind noise.

Hi guys thanks for the info. I have been told today by the garage that I need a new gearbox and clutch along with a list of other items. So looks like it’s going to be expensive.

Oh dear, please don't take this the wrong way,not implying you don't know what's what but don't just take the word of the first place you go to I'll bet there plenty of people on here could point you in the direction of a good place to take it to be assessed and get a fair and honest quote for a good job.post up what info you have on the disco forum and see what response you get
