Hi Guys,
new to this site. I wonder if someone could give me a considered opinion on the following symptons::doh:
I have a 1999 Defender TD5
I have just returned from France. Whilst travelling the TD5 developed a strange whirring noise. It sounds like a dry bearing. I greased all of the appropriate nipples around the props and uj's, i have checked all of the oil levels.
It sounds/feels like it is coming from the vicinity of the transfer box. It cannot be neard when the clutch is pushed down. It can be heard when the props are being driven but is particulary noisy when at high speed you take your foot from the accelerator and let it slow down naturally.
I have checked the wheel hub bearings which are all cool. I thought about the thrust bearing but I believe this is only engaged when the clutch is pushed ???
Any advice/remedy would be most appreciated
many thanks
