Recently been noticing a faint whine above 100kmh (60 mph) and it increases in intensity as speed increases
Similar but quieter to the whine I had on my old 03 Disco 2...
Anyone experience this? Mines a MY 11 HSE. 2011MY D4 SDV6 HSE Ipanema Sand/Almond/Walnut trim, Privacy glass, Alpine roof (not std on HSE here), ipod lead

or the road....I know that NZ roads are surfaced a different way to roads here that sometimes causes tyre noise
Maybe its the wife / girlfriend / partner
The view outside on your stretch of NZ should be your total occupation...used to travel from the windy city (Wellington) to stink city (Rotorua) every two weeks...stunning drive over he desert road.
Plus you shouldnt be doing over 100 kph anyway...... BREXIT - done properly.

| I'll name that tune in one |

Some roads here "sing "as you drive on them due to the surface. But only at naughty speeds It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

Biffysun....Err no
Kapiti Coast...read the original script...OVER 100kph[/b[b]]...the speed limit is a countrywide 100kph in NZ & in more populated areas (the Kapiti cost being just that)....is well enforced by a combination of very accurate & efficient measures...NZ Police are very very keen...its very easy to drift over 100k's...I know to my cost when I lived there & my eldest has clocked a number of points also with the same thing.
NZ uses local volcanic roadstone to make roads...it wears tyres faster, tyres are compounded differently to cope with that & it can make different noises to what we experience here...
Bradford Last week...I was behind the plain clothes Police Car......at around 30mph...I'm still not sure if the Manchester Road out of Bradfordistan is 30 or 40 mph - maybe somebody can tell me as the signage is that clear either...
I'm not in any postion to give any advice let alone charge for it.....
Of course its free being on here ! BREXIT - done properly.

Well thanks for the interest guys
Firstly, it's not my wife I did say faint whine....
Secondly, not the road surface either it occurs on any surface and yes our road surfaces here can be a bit third world that's partly why I have a disco
To be PC there is a 10 kmh speed tolerance here but.....
So, definitely a whine from the driveline somewhere but sounds like its specially for me???
Yes, some of the roads here in NZ are great and offload is even better.. 2011MY D4 SDV6 HSE Ipanema Sand/Almond/Walnut trim, Privacy glass, Alpine roof (not std on HSE here), ipod lead

mrocco, I had a similar whine when I had a D3, wrote it off to the tyres as when I changed the tyres (and wheeel alignment) the whine went away. Was more prelevant when sitting in the rear seat and had about 30,000 km on the clock.
Do not know if the D4 will have a similar problem, only had my D4 for a few days and not had a chance to 'wind it up'. DS4 SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

mrocco...I used to drive daily between Rotorua & Tauranga on I think whats called the "Tauranga direct".....about 40 ks long all gravel - I had a 2.5 V6 SAAB 900....just unbeleivable...andenalin by the bucket load.
A couple of years before that did the Crown range from Wanaka to Q'town in late June (winter) at night ...before the road was sealed my thoughts were "its a road & it looks a shorter way"....my wife was very very quiet on that journey...the car was a Rent-a-Dent Subaru....yes there was snow on the road
It was some time after my youngest daughter showed me the flip side of the Rent-a Dent agreement it banned off normal roads & specifically mentioned the Crown Range. BREXIT - done properly.

Anyone experience this? Mines a MY 11 HSE.
My old LR3 and wife's RR Sport both had this whine and both had to have the fear differential changed. My wife's was especially pitiful as she had less than 15k miles. Our mechanics says this is the weakest link with these cars.

What? the fear or the differential?  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Been to the stealers they have discovered an issue with the transfer box, so it needs to be removed, stripped with new internals, ie chain I think - sounds quite complicated. Apparently will be a two day job. Just waiting for parts to arrive out here from the UK.
What do you think of that on an 18 month old D4....? 2011MY D4 SDV6 HSE Ipanema Sand/Almond/Walnut trim, Privacy glass, Alpine roof (not std on HSE here), ipod lead

Should be fitting a new transfer box. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
