Hello,

My rear differential is making an almost grinding noise cyclical in nature. The cycling speeds up as the car speeds up, slows down as car slows. It is not directly proportional but very close.

Thoughts on what it may be inside that has gone? How much ought I expect to pay to have this fixed.
102,000 kms on it. It has driven like a dream up to this point

Thank you!!!!!!
