    Winning noise (or humming noise) coming from the front or maybe clutch.

    Defender tD5 2005

    I have a winning noise (or humming noise) coming from the front or maybe clutch.
    It gets more noticeable every time I slow down to stop and it disappears.

    Mechanic doesn't know what's causing it but thinks it could be diff related.

    I wonder if it could be clutch related. My clutch has a common problem, there is a washer in it that makes a noise when I start first thing in the morning, then it goes away. This apparently is common and nothing to worry about, but the winning noise I hear as I stop it's getting me worried.

    Drop the diff oil, see if there is enough volume there, and that it isn't full of glitter or water. Fresh oil is cheap!

    Mechanic changed the oil.
    I asked to check the diff, but i was told that it could only be checked through the drain plug and therefore not much could be seen. (the diff pan couldn't be opened !!!!!!?????)

    There's no vibration there. The clutch feels fine.

    I just replaced my back diff in our 06 Defender because of a whining noise - really apparent when slowing down. I couldn't see anything wrong with the diff I removed, but the noise disappeared instantly. The noise started ages ago and I didn't think it serious, but for peace of mind.

    This is in a vehicle with 95,000kms on the clock and had 4 oil changed in the diff since new.

    It sounds like the same problem as mine. Mine has 140.000 Km.
    If it's the Diff (as the mechanic also suggested) I was thinking of replacing it with a stronger unit.
    Again the mechanic suggested putting a rear diff at the front because they are stronger.
    I thought of putting a Salisbury but they don't seem to make them for the front diffs.

    Any thoughts ......???????
