Hi
I am having trouble with my P38 diesel, the engine seems to judder when it is not under load (up to about 2500 revs) when accelerating above that it seems to be ok. Basicaly when you work the car it goes away.

Anyone any ideas

Get the fault codes read. Check the engine mounts and UJ's.

PROP COUPLING ? I hear that this will at low loads cause a vibration / judder.

Hi,

My P38 diesel has the same juddering feel when the engine is not under load. Most noticeable around 1500RPM. Can anyone advise on checking the engine mounts please? How do you check them? How do I tell if they need replacing?

Thanks,
