Looking to buy a new fronty, but it has a noise

Hi, I am looking to buy a frontera sport.
I have found one ,it is L reg and up for £600.
I went to look at it and took it for a drive, when I got some speed up and changed into 3rd gear there was a definate whining noise which sounded like it was coming from the back, is it the diff?
If it is , is it fixable or does it need replacing?

Thanks ,Ross

600 is a lot for an L reg :wink:

I would leave alone as could be gearbox or diff.

You will get something a lot better for that money.

away i paid £400 for mine with 80k on the clock on a 97 there is plenty bargians out there .I saw a montery 3.1 mot failure on a rusty cross member for £350. shop about go on gumtree and that

Thanks for the replies.
You're right it is alot and the rest of it wasn't that nice either.
Don't suppose anyone knows of a sport for sale in kent ?

pitty i just got rid of a 2.0 sport on a m-reg with offroad tyres for £275

That would have been perfect !

Here you are Ross. This might put it in perspective for you.

You are the same Ross that Kel picked the bits up for me.

Thanks, mate .That one looks better than the one I saw , but it is too far away.
Sorry but I dont remember the bits that kel picked up.
