Hi guys,
I have a grinding noise coming from the rear of the hippo thats been getting worse over the last couple of weeks.. If you switch the engine off and coast down a hill in neutral, it starts about 5mph and stays through all speed ranges.. There is no difference if the engine is running or accelerating through the gears the noise remains
Af first i thought it was one of my rear wheel bearings, cos when i get to about 60mph, i get a definite wheel bearing "drone"..
But now im worried its something else like my diff on its way out.
The hippo passed its MOT last sat, i did ask the guy who done it to check, but when i picked it up hed gone on holiday.. but did say my DIFF mounts needed replacing.. But the bearings were checked during the MOT and it passed?
The only other symptom i have is a knocking coming from the rear left wheel arch on full lock at about 5 - 10 mph.
Any ideas guys?
Any tests i can do to narrow this problem down?
The grinding is so loud now that i struggle to hear people talking in the back!!
