It can be difficult to decide which it is.

A set of chassis ears will diagnose it instantly, rather than firing the parts cannon at it! (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

A failed PTU pinion bearing can sometimes be felt with your hand by trying to wobble the main propshaft where it mates onto the PTU.

You've probably already solved the problem but will write a hint about PTU for others. My workshop lifted the car on a jack, the first mechanic stayed in the cabin and pressed the gas and the second mechanic with me listened under the chassis. The sound from the broken PTU was very localized, there was no way to mistake the sound for the rear differential or wheel bearings. |

Hi Badger, I have been toying with the idea of getting those, do you recommended any particular brand? |
