On a recent long trip I noticed some vibration and a whine coming from the front diff of my (new to me) 2008 LR3 HSE. Current mileage: 32k.
I took it in to the dealership as it's still under warranty. Lo and behold, the front diff had metal flakes in it. We're not sure how this happened as it's usually something seen in the 70-80k range. But at least it's covered under the warranty.
While I'm not concerned - it's being replaced - I have concerns about other parts that may wear out early and what may have caused this front diff wear so soon. As far as we know, the vehicle never went off-road. It was checked out by the dealership prior to purchase.
Just curious what other's have seen with this MY LR.
