| In my year of ownership I’ve come to realise where a noise sounds like it’s coming from can be quite deceiving. At first my rear differential noise sounded like it was coming from under the centre ... |

| I could be wrong, but if you open the 4x4 menu it will have the padlock symbol on the rear diff. I know my 4.4 Autobiography does and it’s the ETM diff. |
