Started on the way home tonight. I took a small vid of the noise too when i was going down to the house so sorry about the slush sound.

It gets faster as i go faster and only happens when the car is in gear.

Not sounding good.

maybe some crap tangled in your prop or some moving part?

Yeah, im expecting the worse tbh but it sounds like something is catching. Going to investigate properly tommorro.

with any luck it will be something simple dude!

Had technical difficulty executing the video but sounds to me like the differential.
Its like a whining noise.

nah, its like a clunking, clicking metallic sound which gets faster as i go faster.

u not had a look under the car yet?

Sounds to me like somthing external has come loose or somthing is catching the prop. Good luck rummaging about in the sna' James !!!!

Maybe something adrift in the handbrake department?

Im away to have a look in a minute. Just got up lazy eh. Yeah, thats a possibility but its only when its in gear and seems worse when im accelerating. Annoyin.

Been, having a look but cant see anything yet. Going to take the caliper and disc off.

heres another vid i got this morning.

might sound daft, but have you checked all the bolts are in on your driveshafts? if one of them comes out the metal thing that joins 2 holes swings about when driving making that sort of noise. (will probably make more sense if you look )

it's very difficult to hear, but if it's metalic sound then might be differential, I've got that, can hear it going faster, thought it's disks or brakes but went to the garage they said it's diff, put some oil in it, so it's not getting worse at least, have to save some money to change it. hope helps

could be one of the c.v joints on the driveshafts or the uj's on the prop

sounds like when the pin holding the handbrake shoes to the backing plate has popped out and its rubbing on the brake disc but it would do that whether in gear or not.

how much oil did you put in the diff?

Iv not touched the diff tbh. Checked it a while ago but not recently.

Cheers for the response guys, going to check all of the above out. reckon its prob a cv tho.
