I am running a roof fack and noisy tyres both are sure not making the noise. I have taken the rack on and off and have put original tyres back on. And you can hear the tyres change noise when the road surface changes but the howl remains.
The howl isn't extremely loud at the moment but it's very noticible. Seems to me like a crown wheel and pinion which has been changed also.
I can stop the howl by backing off the throttle. But once back on it or starts again.
The car and diff has apparently all been checked for alignment.
So I've just taken my 2010 90 (68000 kms ) in to check a few minor things, and turns out the rear diff needs to be pulled, I allways just thought it was the mud terrain tyres that were howlin a bit, I've asked them to hold the components that are faulty to gaze over. Hoping my dodgy extended warranty will cover some of the cost!!!!
So far I've had
2x clutches
Rear axle splines
Transfer case output shaft
Various other not so major things but all pretty $$ as extended warranty is dodgy and only covers various items
The vehicle is great and has never stopped me, I'm just hoping LR have updated it so it won't repeat any of the above, the diff is the biggest concern now after reading this thread
My diff fixed, noisy and getting worse at 60,000. I fitted ARB airlocker and this has immediately fixed the noise. I had the backlash adjusted and ARB planeteries installed by a diff specialist. He claimed the noise issue was caused by the single yoke planetary supports. By installing the ARB product it replaced them with doubled sided yokes and braced the crown wheel.
I don't know how much of that is correct but 10,000 Kay's later still no noise. And I have a rear locker and onboard air supply for under $2000.
