Evening all

Ive noticed over the past week a loud squeeling noise from the disco, so I finally dared to turn down the radio to judge this death rattle  :shock: at first i thought it was a wheel bearing (again) but no

It seems to do it only when car is in gear and accelerating and or slowing down ? and the noise definatly stops if i take it out of gear and coast

the disco has a 2" inch lift so maybe the uj`s ???

any ideas guys would be lovley "apart from the take a torch to it option cos ive considered it"

cheers keith

lee celtic:
Sounds like it could be a bearing in the alternator or just the belt slipping, when your coasting the engine is at idle so theres no load on the belt or bearings.

Thrasher:
Sounds like a UJ - get under there and check them.

Range Rover Blues:
If th UJs are squeeking they are past saving.

A squeeky belt can be elliminated by pouhring washing up liquid onto the belt, once it washes away it leaves the belt nice and clean too :)

landroverkeith:
thanks guys its not the alternator as thats brand new and no its not the kind of squeel from a belt, its like the metal chattering a bearing makes when its shot lol im a dab hand at reconising that noise  :oops: heheh

but i cant feel any play in the uj`s they seem solid
