Hi. Wondered if anyone can help. I have just bought a 2004 Discovery Series II. Its great apart from a high pitched screeching noise which comes in at around 2500 rpm in 1st/2nd/3rd gear and then disappears. Its an auto gearbox. The noise is more audible under load. (Box changes smoothly through all gears).

 

So what have you checked so far, how many miles on it?

 

Hi Mike
I'm a blonde (need I say any more?) I checked that it has diesel in, and the rear view mirror is in the right position for applying lipstick !

It has 70,000 miles and appears to have the full service history.

If I drive like a granny keeping the revs low it doesnt happen. Also it stops once its changed up to top gear. I'm not sure whether I should drive it at all or just get it straight into the garage. If its likely to be just a gearbox oil top up I can get one of my sons to do that for me.

Many thanks
