Aha - from this snippet of info I deduce that you have in fact bought a Freelander and not any of the other (more) famous Land Rover products

The rummble from the rear axle will in fact be due to a carelessly discarded heated curling tong flex getting wrapped around a rear disc. You should always dispose of waste hairdressing products responsibly

Ahem, all banter aside - WELCOME! and seriously, it could be a rear wheel bearing on it's way out or perhaps a diff bearing (not familiar with Hippo drivetrain, sorry).

It's customary on LZ to post up an introduction and then post your questins in the appropriate section; in your case the Freelander section. (It's also customary to get and give arsey comments about each other's favourite Land Rovers!

Hope you get the advice from the knowledgeable Freelanderers

You paid about £300 too much

You sure it's the rear axle and not the VCU up the duff?

:welcome2:

I owned a Freelander once and this is what happened. And when I say happened, I mean went wrong.
High pressure fuel pump
Low pressure fuel pump
Clutch cylinder
Rear window mech failed. (In sainsburys with a boot full of shopping)
Both front window mechanisms
Head gasket
Sun roof spontaneously shattered.

Needless to say, I binned it. And when I say binned it I actually mean sold it to some mug.

Such a shame really as it was a comfy and fun car to drive. But so drastically unreliable.

Have a disco 1 now which I plan to keep of top of maintenance wise and I just wish I'd bought one sooner.
