Whining on accelration - Freelander

[spdpug98]

Another question about my Freelander a 2000 (W) 1.8, hope someone can help when you accelerate there is a whining noise that seems to come from the front, but if you let off the accelerator the noise goes, has me stumped sounds a bit like a turbo noise but I know someone has not fitted one on!!

Most likely the transfer case, all transfer cases whine. If it's real loud then check the fluid level.

Maybe its normal then, as it's not a really loud whine just like a turbo noise really

Thanks

Doubtful as they don't have transfer cases! More likely the IRD on it's last legs.

No transfer case? Even the all-wheel drive Jag X-type has a transfer case. What are you calling the component where the viscous coupler is housed then?

Run your hands over the front and rear tyres. Do they feel like they're wearing unevenly? If yes then that whine is your IRD.

They all seem to be worn evenly, wouldn't the whine be constant if it was something in the driveline like the IRD, it only whines when I accelerate not when coasting or off the throttle

Normaly IRD'S Diffs etc first show signs of wear by whining under acceleration.

Call it what you want, it's a transfer case.

That's a new one on me LR never used to allow the parts to recon IRD's. They always sold them as a sealed unit......
