    Angry Grinding noise on a new 2013 Y61 Patrol Diesel Manual

    Drove up to Kinglake (Mason Falls), with the family, to put a few km on the Patrol, only 600km ATM.

    Taking it easy to break her in for the first 1600 I was close to home and had to do a U turn. I notice a grind noise for a second on the LHS front when I was doing a hard, slow right U turn. When I got home I went out again and even around small roundabouts it does it. Not big roundabouts but hard turn ones.

    They have tested other new Patrols in the yard and they are doing the same.

    Anyone got ideas as Nissan is lost and having another look next week. Hope they find it, not into buying new cars that sound like wrecks.

    I think I was having the same noise, many have agreed it could be the auto hubs trying to engage.

    Here's a link to my thread on the topic.

    Thanks for that mego. It's a grind noise that happens only when your turning right.
    It has a consistent sound, even does it just rolling out of gear. Speed doesn't effect it either?

    One m8 said it had a tinny sound but I reckon it has a metal on metal sound.

    Similar to when you first hear the noise when your brake pads are gone.

    Exact same noise I heard, thought it was the brake pads.

    I read the link you posted previously and mine just does it turning hardish right and the noise is in the left hand side wheel?

    I didn't look for cyclist as I was scared to see how many are under there lol

    Theres a locking plate in the hub. Takes about a minute, after you remove the hub, to remove this plate. Then the "Auto" selection is now "Unlocked" and "lock" is locked...
    There is a thread on here somewhere about it.
