| Strange noise just above tick over |
|
Its difficult to describe but its crossed between a whirring and whining noise coming from the centre of the engine bay when feathering the throttle, once above a 2000 rpm it disappears, or the engine noise takes over!
Wondered if it was the air con but all climate control is off and the noise is still there! although when the climate control on and fans blowing hard then it is there on tick over too!
Anyone had similar, hoping its not another fault developing, LR seem to have my disco more than i do recently!

It started after a "good drive" back from a night out in the week, the front of the disco was plastered with flies so maybe one has got somewhere it shouldnt!

Have had a similar issue after an of-roading event involving lots of mud.
That was 4 months ago and the symptom is still there..  Car has been thoroughly washed several times since then...
I've not yet given up on sorting it, comforting that others are experiencing similar symptoms...
In my quest to resolve, I've had the ARB bushings changed at the front as well as the lower front a-arm bushings (the latter under warranty). No effect! ==> Guide - Inexpensive AV Modification

I had similar past few week. I thought it was Air con compressor as air wasn't blowing as cold as usual as wel. Only heard it when air con was on. Turned out it just need re gassing

Might just be coincidence but just had my alternator replaced today as the battery light was on, and now the noise has gone completely. I wonder if this is a sign of alternator problems developing  The noise had been getting worse of late, especially during the hot weather when i suppose its under more strain.
