United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black
Womp Womp Womp

41000 miles. '08 GS' TD4. Just started getting a strange noise from the rear offside, sounds a little like a helicopter rotor, "womp womp womp", it increases and decreases with speed. Had a full service done about three weeks age where the rear pads and discs were replaced. Any ideas, bearings, diff etc, or could it be the new brakes? JRS

Are there any bulges in the inner or outer sidewall of the tyre? Obvious one, I know, but have you checked the torque on the relevant wheel nuts?

Have you had a look to see if there is anything caught up in the wheel like a stick or hedge cuttings ??? ive seen this before worth a check. There could be a problem with your handbrake shoes etc

I had that noise and it was the handbrake shoes rubbing the drum.

Wheel bearings tend to wine and vary in sound pitch with speed, sounds more like faulty brake pads or handbrake shoes.
After a run of a few miles or so with braking walk round the car and gently feel if one road wheels is hotter than the rest near to the centre of the wheel.
be careful not to burn yourself. All the wheels should feel slightly warm to the touch. If one is a lot hoter than the rest then there is a problem there witch needs to be further investigated

I had mine replaced last week, 240EUR. Not much compared to the rear diff, that I was afraid of.
