Ok my v8 disco has covered 180k miles, and there's a vibration, not unexpected I guess.
All seems fine at 60mph but 65+ the thing feels like its going to shake itself to bits.. and lets face it, it might well do that, the vibration is through the body/floor not really the steering.
I'm going to check tyre pressures and wheel balance but once that comes back fine and its still shaking to bits.. which I can tell it will.. I'll need some help.
Could you help with some things to check that could cause this, but more importantly, how to check them? iv changed cv joints on normal cars but never worked on the heavy 4x4 drive train on a land rover.
Ideally I'm hoping for things I can check without lifting the car more than 1 corner at a time and things that wont require pulling it apart too much.
Any help would be appreciated. I have a workshop manual and a stack of tools but not sure where to start looking.
P.S. You may have noticed a few threads about my disco, seems i have inadvertently bought a project car
