The gearbox heatsheild can resonate and make strange noises - get underneath and tap it and listen. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Had a look round checked the gearbox heat shield but nothing found, wondering if it’s a wheel bearing? Anyone ever replaced them are they straight forward? The bearings are approx £40 each vs complete assembly at 200-300 each, I’m under it again at the end of the week doing the gear box oil and filter, I’ll be using pit so may get a better view at things 1972 Series 3 full of character

Still trying to find this, hopefully there’s a link to a video below where you can hear the noise, video starts while I’m stationary move off the noise starts, then I stop and move off again the noise is then drowned out.

I could hear the noise quite clearly - as you say its not engine or road speed dependant.

Not exactly but it doesn't sound sinister either. Can you hear it with the windows down? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

It’s no worse with the window down, I assume the extra road noise drowns it out 1972 Series 3 full of character

I can only suggest you take it to a specialist for them to hear. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I had a high pitch wining noice from the A/C fan on my L320. It appeared when it was a little colder and obviously went away once the fan was turned off. Now on my L322 I have a similar sound, but quieter and not related to the HVAC. I suspect it's from the navigation hard drive, which I believe is of winchester type. |

I have same 2012 Tdv8, mine on 220k, when I got it, it had what I thought was a front left whine.. I assumed it was front wheel bearing, or drive shaft. It was neither.. it turned out to be the front prop shaft…the sliding knuckle at front end had noticeable slack when twisted, with a metallic ‘slap’. Fairly simple to swap out. I wonder if you found a cheap secondhand one on eBay, and tried it to see if different. It was a thought I considered, but I found a new one, (GKN brand) on eBay (400 quid) and bought and fitted that. Totally silent after. |

My gut feeling is the rear prop shaft bearing, as it’s loudest in the rear, I did consider a second hand one but it would be just as much a gamble

just been through my orders, and it was the rear prop. lr030049. I had it in my head it was the front prop, because I was thinking I needed to change out the front diff! I paid about 400 quid for the GKN one. easy to fit. just remember safety under a car etc. |
