possibly rear dif whine, mine had it, but it has now settled down.
It was mostly evident when hot and on long down hill stretches of roadway. |

if it was diff or gearbox would i not hear it all the time, i'm thinking clutch but only because the noise goes when i dip the clutch
thanks for reply, i'm keen to get the dealer resolve before it goes out of warranty |

Rear diff for sure, some improve with age others don't, could still last forever. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

No, diffs or gearbox/transfer box typically whine on overrun. Clutch noises on the whole stop when the clutch is engaged and start when disengaged. I get a noise which is very similar to that which you described which is coming from the ring/pinion sets in the diffs, which on my Defender are Ashcroft HD items which, by their nature, tend to do this. It is most likely that one or other of your diffs hasn't been set up correctly. I would suspect diffs rather than gearbox or t-box, but noises like this can be very hard to pin down. "They" say that 90% of all Landrovers ever built are still on the road. I think it likely that if so 90% of that 90% have transmission whines of some kind. If you can live with the noise and it isn't getting worse, it probably doesn't really matter. |

^^What he says, if it's only doing it on overrun then it's a diff or somewhere else in the transmission, it's an unusual Defender not to have some kind of whine to a greater or lesser degree. Steve.

thanks all for your replies
i have had quite a few defenders and this is the first one i have noticed this whine on.i dropped it off for service last week and i only mentioned the whine in passing. when i came back to collect and the service manager said they need it back for a few days because they will probably have to take the transmission out i thought f...k !! thanks again all |

Bear in mind that dipping the clutch effectively removes all load from the transmission - effectively free wheeling with no engine breaking nor acceleration. This could be enough to change the noise. You could try removing the front or rear props to see if the noise disappears, particularly if it comes back from the stealers with no fault found.
Get some locking diffs and have the diffs set up properly while you're there  |

I had this exact whine with mine. Diff was changed under warranty and it all seems ok now.

Today mine had a simillar problem and my LR mechanic found that the diff lock gear lever partially engaged to H4 with no light on the dash and when i tried to disengaged it came back again. I do not know why it happens so will go tomorrow to get it sorted!
