If Its making a noise it must be leaving a mark, now using your CSI skills from TV
You should have a part that has marks on it from the noise, shouldn't you.

Theory is good but looking around cant see anything. I can see TV is a main hobby of yours but life ain't always like your fav soaps

Ok here is an update.

After 7hrs of Nissan having the vehicle I get a call and they said, "We are about to take off the hubs to explore further?"

I said, "What have you been doing all day with it? I thought you would have pulled them off in the first hour of looking?"

They said, "No we haven't touched anything yet but explored the problem all day by going around, checking things out?

When I got to the service department to get my rig back, the first comment was that they thought me adding the bullbar caused the grinding noise in the front. I told them it was reported weeks before any accessories were added!

I was then told they needed to keep it for a few days. I told them I have it in writing it is in all your 2013 Y61 so why can't they pull apart one of the new ones on the showroom floor?

I was then told it does it only when it is under heavy labour, under revering, going around corners. I told them it does it at any speed and is it the way I drive the vehicle causing the problem? I then said I'm a little upset you have been labouring my new vehicle!!! I don't drive it that way!!!!!!!!

I was then told they need to start removing things to investigate further.

First sign of problem and they started to blame the accessories

Will update again after next appointment !

Typical of a service department ..... Always trying to blame everything else instead of trying to resolve the issue.
