Thanks all for you help it is the drive shaft I have just one question the big nut on the hub end of the drive shaft how tight do i do it ???

If i have to change Drive Shafts is it best to do the bearing as well or will it just be more money

Can not fell any play so I have just ordered a recon diff to try first as my old one is leaking oil I will fit it and do a little road test. If it is still there after that I will order two new drive shafts. I will be replacing all the bushes at the same time just as well. Thank you for your help

thanks for your reply but how do i check them ??

Hi all i have a 2005 td4 freelander with 135000 on the clock in a a grumbling/ whinning noise which i think is coming from the back. so far I first checked the oil in the rear diff and that was ok . Then i removed the porpshaft to eliminate that but it made no difference. the noise is there most when i get up to about 30mph and is at it loudest when i take my foot of the accelerator.if i go faster lets say 60 mph i can not hear it. it may be the rear diff how do i make sure it is the diff and not a wheel bearing or i may be completely wrong and it not coming from the back any good tips on how to locate a noise like would be most appreciated. I now i can just keep changing part and hope i find it but that is a very expensive way to go about it please help
