Four problems related to differential unit have been reported for the 2006 Land Rover Range Rover. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Front differential making grinding noise,shop says it needs to be replaced.
The front wheels locked up and caused the car to veer dangerously and screech to a halt. This was due to a failed front differential which, upon more online research is a common issue with this model. It was replaced by the dealer at a cost of $3,000.
Vehicle began making a mid to high pitch whining/grinding sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The sound is present at most speeds now. Land rover dealer told me it was the rear differential beginning to fail, and would cost 2200. 00 to replace. They also told me that Land Rover north America is aware of the defective differentials, but essentially could care less.
While driving on gwb, I suddenly felt like the underneath of the car had gotten stuck on something & then the car came to a sudden stop, leading to the car behind me hitting my bumper. My mechanic told me it was my front differential & was not covered in my vehicle's year recall.
