Morning All,
Another issue with the disco, between 60 and 70 there seems to be a body shudder / rumble. I have had the wheels balanced and checked for propshaft play, nothing i deem to be excessive. Doesn't seem to be excessive play in the wheel bearings or swivels.

I have been told that it could still be a prop shaft. i have also looked at a few comments and people have said I can fit a TVB000100 to my 2003 td5. The only difference being the greasing ability of the sliding joint? is this correct if so it saves quite a few pennies?

Assistance on thoughts of the rumble and an answer to the propshaft q would be great. Ta

Hi, if you put that question i suppose your's an auto... you might save somepennies but get some kind of 'booming' noise instead, see this Disco 2 Front prop-shaft ??? - Page 2 - Australian Land Rover Owners
 
Thanks guys, didn't get the rear done, shall do today, some numpty had non stock wheels on it when i bought it and forgot the spigot rings so it had a hell of a vibration to start. replaced with nice clean disco 2 rims, all ok as came of my p38 and the only thing wrong is this droaning / rumble. saying that from the above, the front prop looks newer than the back, i wonder if they have gone cheap and bought the wrong one.
 
Hi Folks, update and still no better i'm afraid. Changed the wheels and tyres to a set I know are good (Stole them of my mates td5), changed the front prop. Still 60 - 70 body shakes and not getting any better. Had it at the garage and they took all the wheels off to try and run it on the ramp, but the traction C / ABS went nuts. No diff lock so running it with only one prop front or rear to eliminate is out of the Q. Any further help would be great as this is now getting expensive. Next option is to replace all 4 wheel hubs I thinks. Help help and more help. But shes a landy and well worth it :)
 
Hi,
The donut has been inspected by the land rover garage and they say its good. Do you think I should still replace?

if you had play in wheel bearings (hubs) abs lights would show as sensor air gap would fluctuate
 
Hi guys, coupling changed, no difference. New plan! Input would be appreciated. We have a nice new road being built near us approx 5 miles long. Plan is, remove both props and get towed at up to 70 to see if it goes, if so its transfer / gearbox. If not then it points to diffs or axles. How can I disable the abs / tc to prevent it from going nuts without the props fitted and be able to run the engine for pas and brakes? Pull the abs fuse? Suggestions

Thanks
 
Ah yes see your logic, doh! :) lol, it's late. Will give it a whirl, wasn't sure if the gnocchi had a speed pickup into the hill decent / tc system
 
Ok so an update, both front hubs changed, wheels all balanced, new rubber coupling. Still no better. Help! :)
 
my mate has a seat Leon, got to 60mph and car vibrated at the rear, front wheel drive so no rear prop, had wheels balanced, no better!, had car tracked and wheel aligned, still no better, tried all brake discs to see if any warped or cracked all ok! tried every thing, spent a bit of coin as well, he told me last week after buying a new tyre as they tied it down to one wheel, when they took the tyre off to fit new one, wheel was 3/4 full of water, so where he got the tyres fitted originally, they must ov had water pass the compressor filter,
