Mine has started to make a fiant rumbling / dronig noise, particularly on over-run and when warm, was into Shukers today for new heated washer jets and rear tailgate straps, dealer, car went in with MTRs on but dealer changed them for a set of donor wheels they have with road tyres on, diagnosis is Front Diff they have ordered one but as with everything else they are on back order, or so he tells me I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.

So that rules out the theory of "the wrong paint" in the diff.
Looks like the replacement diffs will fail eventually.Pete

Had a new set of Pirelli Zeros put on last week but the noise was still there. Going into dealer tomorrow to have it 'acoustically' analysed! We'll see
I have that rolling noise at around 60-80 kmph I think from front right. Dealer checked wheel bearings which are fine. I run Wrangler HP tyres. Any ideas?The older I get, the better I was.
Discovery 3 TDV6 Auto (BAS remap) after Defender TD4 110 Crew Cab and 1964 SIIA 88.
When I had that sound I had the wheel bearings checked and they were fine, it turned out to be the front diff, has now developed a metalic noise, best described as though the brake disk may be catching on the back plate/dust shield, this has been diagnosed as the rear diff failing.I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.

You could try draining the oil and see if there are any metal particles in it, this may give you an idea.I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.
