Title: Rumbling noise from rear
Post by: TheBoy on 12 February 2018, 18:56:26
Speed dependent rumbling noise, but doesn't change when going left or right.

Wheel bearing still family favourite?  If it was a prop bearing, that would be a much higher frequency presumably?

I suppose there are lots of bearings in the transmission that could rumble if they felt like it - prop shaft centre bearing, diff input bearing and diff output bearings. I've never known one fail. Am I just lucky?

I was convinced my diff was rumbling for a while.. Until I noticed the exhaust blow just ahead of the back box. ::)

2 year jaguar warranty with the car?

If not I'm sure that Mr Fuse 19 fella will diagnose and fix it free of charge. :)

I do keep wondering if its just tyres...

...but I think its getting a bit too intrusive to just be that now.  Rears are Dunlop SportMaxx GT.

'fraid I left some rubber at Morrisons this morning. :-[

The damned pay at pump machine took about 3 minutes to read my card and then announced "Cancelled - use kiosk" - what?

That'll be the one full of chavvy mums each doing their weekly shop and still in their pyjamas? Not effing likely!

Check your bank account... Ne'erdowells apparently have a growing knack of fitting Bluetooth transmitters to the card readers...

True, that that's only going to happen if I CBA to go into the office.

The thing has not moved an inch in the last week...  ...saving me a fortune....  ...in screenwash :D
