Whining noise

[LJ]

Have noticed a whining noise on the car, it seems to only happen at low revs, any ideas? Transfer box maybe?

Mine does this i thought it was the gearbox. I had this replaced and after still whinning so i just forget it. Its been doing it since october 2001 so dont worry

Might be a Quaife :twisted: and you dont know it.

If only! Pretty sure its the gearbox making the noise, as long as it doesn't fall to bits i'm not fussed
What are the symptoms of a screwed box or does it just go?
