This is my first post on the technical forum. I've been a disco driver for over 10 years and had an old series 1 Land Rover before that. Generally I've had very little trouble.
I currently drive a 2000 Discovery Series II V8
This year has been expensive with my 4.0lt V8 cracking the block for no good reason. Now one of the transfer case bearings back retaining rings cracked and allowed a roller to find it's ways into the gears. Ouch!
I have had the TC rebuilt with all new gears bearing etc but it has a really bad whine from around 60kph getting to high pitched very annoying scream at 100kph.
Any thoughts on why the gears are whining. Could the gear spacer be too long jamming the gears a causing the whine?
We have tried using a heavier grade oil but no difference once the oil warms.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
By the way I replaced the motor with a 4.6Lt rangie motor.
Stuff Toyota Oh what a feeling!! and better fuel economy!!
