No, what is really disgusting is that this problem has been known about for years and years and has affected every year of FL2 since 2006. Why the hell it was not sorted out years ago is beyond belief. FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green

They are supposed to have beefed up the bearing post 2012/13 but the guy at Fews said that some of the bearings fitted are of inferior quality and that's why they fail. Just hope that my motor isn't' built from the left over parts being one of the last produced. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

I understand Bell Engineering modify the diff housing and fit a larger uprated bearing as their fix. Maybe JLR need to take some interest...

Had a diff whine on my 59 HSE thought it was a wheel bearing at first but it grew worse.

Bell charge £576 for recon unit so your price sounds a little expensive to me with just a morning or afternoons labour to be added.

The unit itself was just over £500 so sounds the same. The Labour charges and oil/sundries took up the rest |

MY13 HSE Lux SD auto has very recently developed a low pitched rumble/whine from the rear. It changes in volume with road speed both in drive and coasting in neutral. I have just refitted my winter tyres (known to be quiet prior to removal last month) to rule out tyres but it made no difference.

If you're certain the noise is from the rear & not tyres, then your only other options are wheel bearings or diff. Wheel bearing noise usually varies in tone as you load & unload the bearings when cornering. Diff more so when on & off the power. I have just replaced my diff with a Bell Engineering one & my rear droning has now gone!

Just back from Bell's Engineering - not the diff but a rear wheel bearing, quickly diagnosed by Austen.
