First check oil in diff and gearbox they have a thing with leaking diffs EP 90 in diff and engine oil in gearbox and transfer box if not too bad wine add Molly slip to diff should quiet it down

Sounds like a tractor But goes like a rocket - Poor mans auto parts.

Thanks guys for your quick replies and the warm welcome.
I have a 1998 2.5 TDS Sport 3 door. I hope this helps and will check the oil levels as recommended.

Im not alone then, I too get whining from the NSF seat area, sometimes this can cause tinnitus and the whining noise can continue all day, and can recur at random times, without warning. :shock:

I have checked all the tyre pressures and tread. Also checked for bulges in the side wall but all is fine. I am very sure now that it's coming from the rear diff. Buying gear oil and diff oil tomorrow and hopefully this will cure the whine.
