Mine was making similar noises and turned out to be handbrake shoes worn and rubbing on drum. |

Thanks snappa. I thought that could be the issue, but I only had the complete rear brakes changed about 6-7 months ago. Will be raging if LR quality is THAT bad. As a man thinketh, in his heart so is he |

Thanks chicken george. Do you know of any way to differentiate one from t'other by any chance? As a man thinketh, in his heart so is he |

Agree with CG but more likely the hub bearing in my opinion. You have commented that the noise is coming from the LH rear and when you turn right it gets worse. The action of turning right does put more load onto the left hand side of the car and so more load into the bearing. Can you find a car park or quiet road where you can throw the car around a bit and do a definate comparison between the left hand and right hand load transfer.

Thanks macphersonstrut. I will try that on the way home. Is the bearing something that could be done on the driveway? I'm not in a mechanical profession, but I am (fairly ) intelligent and can follow instructions and give most things a try. Does it require special tools or anything? Does anyone have any instructions on doing this - or point me in the direction of them? Thanks very much to everyone who has helped so far. Very friendly forum! Hope everyone is having a good day.

Can't assist with how easy it is - sorry. How about making a warm cocoa drink (as a relaxant) sitting down in your favourite comfy chair dialling the telephone number of your local LR dealer asking for the service desk and just after you say ''how much to replace a LH NS wheel bearing on a FL2 please'' you put your thumb and index finger together and say Hoommmmmmmm (That's supposed to relax you as well ). You could also get there opinion of the noise as well. You never know, might not be a second mortgage 1 hour labour £50, parts £50 (Well you can wish !) |

Just spoke to a nice man at a well known North East LR service centre.

No, it can't be done on the driveway. At least not the removal of the bearing itself. You'll need some (special) tools and the help that you'll only find on a workshop. And be prepared to say goodbye to the old bearing, no matter if it's defective or not, as its removal will damage it. |

I imagine youll need access to a decent press and possible hub puller kit, not something everyone has in their own garage/kit. |
