L322 Good, good, good, good vibrations.......

Or maybe not.
Not getting too worried yet, as this is a very specific location issue.
The new place is 'proper' farm type place. Area where I park is firm, clay based soil, compacted over centuries, but uneven. I have noticed since moving here a vibration, that seems to be coming from around the off-side, front area. Coming through the door/dash area, mainly.
She does it more if I have my foot on the brake, any position on gear selector.
As I said , not overly bothered , as she doesn't do it anywhere else ( yet!)
Anyone have any ideas what she might be up to this time?
Thanks in advance.

How uneven?
Unless there is a tired engine mount with some minor flex on the body in that particular parking place?
Are they vacuum engine mounts on your monster?

As far as I can recall , yes to vacuum. Uneven as in few inches off, everywhere! It's a farm, nothing's level.

Addit I lie. The byre floor is level (ish)

Maybe the that particular parking spot is to highlight an up and coming issue.
It's odd how it becomes apparent with the foot brake applied.

Vibrating all time at idle, how does speed effect it like only at certain rev/mph?

It's there when I take foot off, but not as much. Was wondering if it is highlighting something to come.

I'd be inclined to think engine mount.

Thanks, with you and Mark both mentioning it, I'll add it to the list for the guys to look at, when I can finally get her to them.

Your welcome, hopefully it's a stone jammed up in there.

RangeRoller dt · May 24, 2020

No idea what that feels like never had an engine mount go.
There is always next week

Every chance. Fingers crossed it's something that easy . The size of the buggers on the track is impressive. The dry weather meant driving like Miss Daisy, in case any went flying.

The Golden Girl has been off road more than a lot of the 'other' green ovals, that I know.

She's gone places other marques have baulked at, and pulled other marques out of the mud.
It's funny you should say about inadvertent green laning. It crossed my mind, a few days ago , that the farm track, and the shore track , would be loved by those just getting in to green laning Hell, even to get to the house back door I have to go through a field

That sounds like fun on a daily basis, what about in winter?
Lots of boxes ticked there,
Range rover,
Middle of nowhere,
Tracks to and from home....
Next you'll be looking into 50/50 tyres and a winch

Or getting a reliable 4 x 4

No! Today I will only be staring at it from a distance out the window.
Wondering why the entire right hand side is looking dropped few inches compared to the left? On level ground with no EAS

Broken spring

RangeRoller dt · May 24, 2020

I’m thinking if a spring or shock has gone would it not be only a corner, rather than a half?
Have to be checked before driven.

I’m convincing myself for now that the side in the sun has expanded more

That way I can sleep wether it’s broke or not.

L322 Good, good, good, good vibrations.......
