Hello all

Long time lurker, just purchased a 16 sdv8 autobiography a

Coming from owning a td6 for 12 years which I still have. (The most reliable car I have ever owned not being sarcastic)

Few issues I'd like to point out to see if anyone can help

I noticed the transfer case issue a few days in to ownership, got that sorted with a double flush

However

On acceleration I can hear a faint whining between 10 to 30mph so I changed the oil in the the rear diff, still no good, can't pin point it

I have the front diff left to do

Any other ideas?

And also I feel that the front struts feel really bouncy compared to my l322, the new car is at 60k miles, could new air struts be needed? What's the lifespan on the shocks?

That's all for now

Anyone?

Also I've noticed on a few post on droning/whirring on the sdv8, around 1 to 2k when stationary and In gear relative to rpms, anyone get to the bottom of this

I'll provide mode info on the whining in gear, as I mentioned in my previous post I changed the tc oil which was in very dark, no metal shavings etc,
But I do hear a whine in gear between 2nd and 3rd gear on acceleration related to road speed not revs. I. Sure its not wheel bearings, dissappears after around 40mpg, not audible in first gear.

Any help appreciated
