Thanks again for your response. I know that the clutch is near the end of its life but i dont think it is that as the whine is as the gearbox is slowing. It happens when gear is still engaged but im not using any throttle, for example breaking on approach at a roundabout. as soon as you...

Just found out, we've already checked them and they are all ok. Any other ideas what it could be would be gratefully received?! Many thanks

brill, will have a look at that when i get home then. thanks for the speedy response on this one..

Hi thanks for your replies. There is oil in it, have checked that one. What should i be looking at with the universal joints?

My 300tdi landrover has developed a whining noise in the transmission i think rather than the transfer box or diffs. Sounds like a bearing packing up but it stops when u disengage the clutch. it mainly happens upon aproach to a roundabout - so no throttle... Just wondering if any one else has...

thanks for that, saves me riding all the way there. can anybody suggest any lanes around north beds/grafham way that are still open at the moment?

Hi. Just after a bit of advice. I'm thinking of getting a rebel winch bumper (not tubular) and a champion 10000winch. The question is, will the winch fit in that bumper? does anybody have this combination and did it work ok for you? Many Thanks

Oh did i? i'll have to watch out, im no plonker. lol. you needn't worry, my head is securely fastened down!

Yeah, im not brave enough to go on my own at the moment as i dont have a winch etc to get out. just so you know, i found cambs county council very helpful yesterday in terms of finding out where is and isnt open. Im told there are some good lanes over near gransden and the longstowe area...

Yeah, i met one of you guys on the course in steppingly a few weeks ago and he said to register. i'll keep my eyes peeled!!

thanks for such a speedy reply. I will give the council a ring and check which ones are open. Can anybody recommend any around grafham water though? do you know if they are currently ok to drive?

Hi, im new to the forums... Im looking for some green lanes around the north bedford area. i've heard that there are quite a few good ones around grafham water. can anybody shed any light on this and where exactly are they? i drove around there last weekend but couldnt seem to find any...
