I have a metal on metal sound when my Jimmy is in acceleration only and between 80 and 100 km per hour. It sounds like two metal discs rubbing side by side. If you let off the gas pedal, the noise is gone. Anyone come across this before?

If its an auto gearbox could be clutch cover springs falling apart or the dif needs replacing. if you roll along with engine off and auto box in neutral and no noise then its clutch / gearbox.

sounds like the fuel pump is not putting enough fuel through to keep up with the demand of 110 km ph
but is putting out enough for the 80-90- km ph
advise the install of a larger low (litres per minute) fuel pump
sounds dangerous get the mechanic that done the job to fix the problem ,,,,,the law states the persion that fixes must leave the machine/part in a roadworthey condiation.adrian,,,,,,,,
This could be a loose hub bearing causing the hub to move in and out .When accelerating the weight shift will be less on the front wheels so the hub may be moving in and out during this .Have this checked soon :)
squeaky noise is common from brake pads going against the brake disc.
This is caused by lose calipers or stiff calipers unable to fully open up. This makes the brake pads very close to the brake disc.
When you are travelling at a certain speed, tension on the wheels may cause it to incline inwards or outwards at a very small degree but that is enough to get the brake pad to rub against the disc causing the squeak.
Another possiblity is the brake disc rubbing against the disc guard. Usually metal and behind the disc. You said you had a collision, this may have distorted the disc guard causing some parts to touch the brake disc.
You need to have your brake pads replaced. They make that sound when they get worn down so you know to change them. There is a little piece of metal that rubs on the brake rotor to tell you this. Hope this helps
