I have replaced gearbox and transfer box oils, no contamination. Local garage I use said gearbox bearings, £450 ish to strip and repair. Is that about right? Cheers

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

£450 to remove and replace the gearbox strip it down, replace worn bearings and refill with oil sounds reasonable.
They will also tell you that you need a new clutch when the gearbox is off (which is sensible) but will cost another £100.
As to whether this is the noise, I don't know, I've not driven it, but do you trust the garage?

Gearbox mount? Transfer box mount? Cat heat shield? Try the cheap stuff first and have a good poke around.

I had similar noise and it was the input shaft bearing on the transfer box. Go under and have a wiggle. Excessive play and you will know there is a problem.
