I have a 95 Disco and am concerned about a whine that has been gradually getting worse. It is really noticeable when I apply power at around 45-55 MPH. When you release the accelerator pedal and take the load off the whine goes away. I can't quite pin point the problem area. How can I tell if the problem is from the diff, U-Joint, T-case (I hope not), or something else?
Is this a common problem and easy fix? How can I best isolate so that I can repair? I thought about disconnecting the rear prop shaft (just to see if it quiets down) but I am not sure if that will buy me anything. Any suggestions or pointers out there?

Have you checked all your fluid levels?

Transfer case, Transfer case, Transfer case, Transfer case. Gotta go with Lance. When is the last time you serviced your transfer case?? You will have a little whine no matter what from transfer case. Service it. How many miles? My 95 disco has 176000 miles with orginal t-box. It has been serviced all its life.

Fluid Levels are fine. Joe what are you referring to when you say "Service" the T-case? Change the oil? The disco has 114,000 miles on it now.
