Ok guys, still pretty new to this 4x4 stuff and tried a search but to no avail... not sure I'm even looking for the right thing to be honest. But ever keen to learn...
Noticed an odd noise coming from the range rover (95 4.0l) been there for a week or so now.
The only way to describe it is a very low thumping (like someone thumping a pillow!) as your driving along. its seems to be changing speed equal to the car so I'm guessing its something in the drivetrain but its quite faint so hard to tell.
So far I've checked the transmission fluid which is nice and red and sitting at the correct level, the rear diff oil which was changed a few months back when I serviced it. The front diff oil was also changed at the same time but topped up only the other week as I have both front half shaft oil seals leaking. Sadly, I've been putting it off as I hear its a pig of a job and its bloody freezing out there! have been checking and topping up the front diff every couple of weeks to be on the safe side.
Going to have a good butchers at the weekend but with little knowledge of 4 wheel drive systems it would be great to know beforehand what I else I can check for? Any know weak points? Places to check for wear and slop (No jokes now!)
Cheers guys
