I have a MGB with a banjo axel, but i think it " singing" to much from the diffrential, i wonder what it can be ? is it the bearings or need the differential just to be adjust?
Thanks.

High pitched singing, probably pinion bearings.
Lower pitched growl, probably diff carrier bearings and or pinion bearings affecting pinion/crownwheel clearances.
Either way, you can confirm easily enough on a banjo diff by removing and inspecting.
Also look for minute shards of metal in diff oil.
Replaceing bearings and setting up is really a specialist job.

If it's not too noisy,I would leave it alone for now. Mine has been noisy for all of it's life and isn't getting any worse. So far it's done 98,000 miles happily moaning to itself.
