I have a small whine from the back end when under power.
could it just be CVs or am I lookin at more serious gearbox investigations?
Anyone have any clues?

simply allow the mrs to sit in the front

sounds like a bearing. someone on here will know which one, how much etc

probably the onion baji's off that buffet last night duck,they're making mar rear end whine this morning..............

Checked your gearbox for oil level lately? Gears all select OK?

Wheel bearing usually hum or drone, not whine... and noise changes slightly dependent on any cornering loads.

A whine is normally the diff or gearbox... as long as you really mean a whine, and not a drone or a hum

Thanks, definitely not bearings and gearbox selecting perfectly.
I'll keep runnin it and see what happens!!

the thing is, there are bearings in the gearbox. i changed one in me merc not long ago because of the constant whine.

If its started whining then its not good...
Either the output bearings have started to go or the pinon bearing has.. either way the mess will get a lot worse and something will get broke.. then you are into another box... or a very big repair bill.. better to do something about it BEFORE it breaks...
