United Kingdom 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 Metropolis LE Auto Bonatti GreyDiscovery 3
[For Sale] 2006 Disco tdv6 Metropolis

I have a 2006 Disco tdv6 Metropolis automatic with 92000 miles. It’s had on ongoing problem with a strange whining noise for the past 6 months. Here is a list of everything I’ve changed :
Brand new turbo
Upgraded torque converter ( Bristol transmission )
Intercooler
Silicon turbo hoses
Cooling fan
Calipers
Propshaft
Wheel bearings
2 x gearbox flushes
3 x diff flushes
Even bought 4 x wheels and tyres off a forum member ( nice gunmetal colour with continental tyres )
It’s also been remapped by Geoff ( forum member )



AND STILL I HAVE THE WHINE

I think if someone offers me £1000 for it they can take it.

Forgot to mention I took it to the automatic gearbox centre in Hove, they had it for 2 hours and said the gearbox was not the problem either and assured me it was doing everything it should.

Over the last couple of years I have added genuine Land Rover roof bars, led rear lights, fuel burner remote, had the handbrake overhauled, had a fixed towbar fitted by Land Rover, new suspension compressor.
I’m sure there are many more things I’ve forgotten !!!
Now you know why I’ve just had enough
It’s mot’d until September

I’m sure that one of the mechanics I’ve had looking at it has tried that, which reminds me it’s also had a new tensioner and alternator.
Everything I’ve replaced on it has been brand new and either genuine or top brand

You'd be mad to sell.

SORN it, buy a cheap runabout, try living without it for a while. I'll give you 2 months tops before you go back to it.

If that's the case, timing belt idler/tensioner/HPFP etc been checked?

I’ve already SORN it
I paid £23,000 for it around seven years ago and have since spent another £12,000 on it. I just can’t spend anymore on it ( even though I’ve replaced nearly everything 🤣)
Someone else can have the challenge

My hearing is f.u.c.t. but I hear a whine from mine that I suspect no-one else does. Tried swapping tyres front/back and the note changed. Not louder or quieter, just different. None the wiser, but it drives like a dream so why am I worrying ?

What about getting 4-wheel tracking checked ?

I remember once someone telling me, it’s a Land Rover sir they all do that.

Either way I’ll give you a grand. Good luck with the diagnosis...
