Discovery 2 not moving
Hi I have a 1999 disco 2 with about 100k miles. Yesterday when I was driving in town I noticed a slight hesitation starting from a red light. Then I started to hear a whining noise which sounded a little louder than usual. The whining noise only occurred when accelerating and not when decelerating or in neutral. It almost sounded like tire noise so I thought may be wheel bearings. But noise did not make any difference whether if I steered or not. After a few miles of driving, it felt like I was getting vibration under acceleration.
Today, as we were going camping w a heavy load and stopped by at a local supermarket underground parking. In slow turns as i drove in the lot, I noticed very bad metal clicking/crunching noise for both left and right turns. But noise only happened when i turned. The noise seemed to be coming from the rear of the truck underneath. truck however did not have any problems moving forwards or backwards in the lot.
As I left the supermarket I felt and heard metal breaking underneath the car. I could not tell if it was transfer case, transmission, drive shaft or cv joint. After this the truck could no longer move. Again the engine seems perfectly happy in neutral. When put in Drive, and not stepping on the gas, it makes an awful sound underneath the truck, like gears not meshing and just grinding metal. Transmission (or the gears?) seemed to catch every once in a while but then it would barely move an inch before starting to make more awful grinding noise.
The truck did not seem to roll when put in Park. I looked at the drive shaft but it was apparently still there. (not sure if they actually break off when drive shaft problem). Also Did not check to see if shaft might turn when put in gear as I was in the middle of a busy road.
Anyone have any suggestion as what this might be? Sorry for the poor description.

And add in transfer case and differentials. Fluid drain check may reveal metal in one of these. Once it is up on a lift turning things will reveal much. Failues of this type generally result in

Listening and hearing the warnings was a good observation on your part and in the future you may want to follow through on those observation to a diagnosis before another outing. Any sound of metal should generally mean to park the truck.
