 Thank you.
Noise is independent of engine; it is most noticeable with engine off and i=
n neutral and coasting.

Well, then it is rotational for sure, not a bearing that is failing but per=
haps already failed, perhaps allowing the O/D annulus to scrape the surroun=
ding housing...though it did not sound like steel on aluminum to me. You ha=

a failed motor mount and the crank pulley scraping the cross member??=C2=A0=

Not a lot of progress...

Brake cable is well clear of propshaft and securely clipped.
Universal U joint/spline phasing is correct.
Been doing lots of listening with stethoscope.
With propshaft disconnected, am able hear noise in 2nd or 4th when slipping=
 clutch (reduces speed)
Assume is the same noise and less distinct because of the engine noise.
Not nearly as distinct as when shaft is connected and rear wheels freewheel=
ing in neutral and engine off.
Loudest area seems to be rear GB casing near rear bearing.
This still does not sound like a bearing to my ears ?

Plan to try to get a 2nd expert opinion with younger ears !
