Noisy English Axle
So after a successfully MOT yesterday and some nice weather today I took the car for a little run out.
Biggest issued I've found so far is the rear axle is very noisy., it sounds like its straight cut. Its much louder than the exhaust.
I suspect it's a worn Crown wheel and Pinion. It didn't look 100% last time it was out, but didn't want to spend the ££ on a new set
without first testing it.
Question 1: Except for being really annoying do I risk damaging anything by continuing to use it?
Question 2: Can you recommend any good re-builders?
For Info its a 35 tooth crownwheel which I believe is 3.89:1 Ratio with LSD.

A bit obvious I know but have you checked the oil level?

Is it howling/whining or a rough dry abrasive growl sound?--- if the later it is likely just the halfshaft bearings or if you are very lucky a rear
brake issue also check nothing is rubbing on the propshaft. If a howl/whine check the oil level before pulling anything major apart.

does it have poly bushes as these can be a mistake on road cars due to them making the diff whine vastly louder than rubber bushes
