Hi Vissie, Thanks for the reply, will take your advice regarding the second opinion, I have also contacted LR Customer care and they are looking into the possibility of contributing towards the cost. Will post the outcome in due course.

Hi all, I have a 2008 freelander with an annoying diff noise....been quoted from LR dealer £1500 to repair the problem. WHY does it cost so much if its only bearings. Any info gratefully received.
