Hey all, new to the forums, not so new to Land Rovers!
So, my 95 3.9 Disco has a terrible vibration when I got it, I went through all the usual motions, bearings, bushes, prop donut, steering damper etc which helped A LOT (swivel pin bolts were loose as were front wheel bearings!) but the vibration is still there after 55mph up to about 70/75 and finally fades out at 95. Definitely feels like transmission.
Anyway, input up with this for a few days and a rattle appeared (as they do on Landys!). Best way of describing this rattle is almost as if exhaust flange bolts were loose, but there not. As a matter of course I replaced all the exhaust bolts for new, still no difference.
A week has gone by now with said rattle gradually getting worse and at the same time the vibration becoming erratic and intermittent. I got underneath today with the engine running and the rattle speeds up with engine rpm and dies down with engine rpm, I also notice that the rattle sounds like it’s inside a tumble drier/washing machine and appears to be coming from within the Bell housing.
My conclusion, Torque Convertor.
All opinions and advice welcome folks,
Thanks in advance
