Hi there my disco has started whining. It’s been doing it since a rather wet Greenlaning trip on Salisbury plain
Any who!
She starts whining at around 20mph and peaks at 70. Still whines in neutral.
Seems to only be road speed related not engine speed
Changed to oil in the front diff today. But did not improve it.
All props seems solid, no play.
I have notice the EPB makes a hell of a tacket it I try to use it. (Not something i normally use )
So I wonder if it worth changing all the brakes and looking at the EPB as the root cause of the whine ( though it feels like it’s at the front of the car..
Any thoughts and suggestions?

I would hazard a poke at front diff bearings..
Mine were shot on the D3.
Whined really bad.
Thought it was wheel bearings at first but eventually found the culprit.If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking .. O
Having changed all the brakes all round. I now agree the front bearings have definite play. Next job!

Its an "easy job"*. You just need a big hammer. Buy complete bearing/hubs for an easy life and suggest you go the way of Timken to avoid doing the job twice
* I got into a spat with someone on the forum about this. It took me 2 hours a side from getting kit out to putting it away. This other person quoted me a unicorn tears time of 1 hour both sides.
