whine from the rear
not the wife or kids. But from about 40mph there is a whine, is it likely to be the wheel bearings or the diff. I already know I've got sticking rear calipers (in process of sorting), but the noise doesnt go away when the pedal is pressed like the brakes do.

Hi. Sounds like a wheel bearing to me. Put the car on Jack or axle stands, spin the wheel on neutral and You should be able to hear what is it. 99% wheel bearing :-) If so, Camskill is the cheapest place to get wheel bearings.

Be interested to know what you find out. I have a similar problem. Brakes and wheel bearings have been ruled out though. It seems it may be the "transfer idler bearing”, but I’m now worried about driving 90 miles to my nearest specialist in case it goes bang, so can’t find out at the moment.

well i can say its not the rear brakes thats making the noise. They've been changed and is still making the howl mainly between 30 & 50mph. However I have noticed when I go over a bump the tone/pitch changes.
Any ideas

I do need to change the back tyres due to there being splits in the side walls (previous owner bought new wheels with budget tyres) but not been changed for over two years. I'm hoping it's just the wheel bearings but want clarification
