Please lend me your ears. (le gearbox)

Hi,

Hope you can hear the noise clear enough (le clio is just a collection of different noises).
I'm looking to get an idea of what is wrong. Curiosity more than anything. I feel like its the diff, but that's just my gut feel. Part of me thinks it could even be lack of oil, but that was changed less than 6 months ago, so further confusion.
Its always had a whine on coast, as I hope you can hear.. the whine is gone, replaced by something somewhat angrier.

Any input will be massively appreciated. Sorry for pre potato quality, and no drawings.

"fked" haha.

Mine sounded and behaved a lot like that and it was diff bearings.

Definitely diff bearings imo. It's w**k that you have to crack the box open to change them.

As others have said, mine sounded very similar with diff bearings gone. I took the opportunity to treat it to a Gripper LSD
