Did it come on sudden or gradual?
Sudden is bad, gradual is better.
Have you checked the bushes on the front suspension?

Hi It came on gradual and is not always the same,a bump in the road or uneven surface seem to start it off.bushes seem fine the only slight play seems to be at the end of the steering rack.

Give the brakes a sharp stab at 40Mph and listen for slap sound. This is a good test for the large lower arm hydro-bush at fault.

Steering rack would do it as would track rod ends.
Hi thanks for your suggestions will have a look.

Get an automatic watch and make the most of the shaking steering.

What did a diagnostic read come up with?
No, if the same type of pump was fitted. There are however 2 types of suspension pump, one made by Hitachi and the other AKM. They are interchangeable, however they need different software, which need to be installed at the time of the pump change.
You need a diagnostic device for the correct vehicle. I'd get the IID BT tool from Gap Diagnostics. That's about the best and most user friendly diagnostic tool available for these later LR models.
Thanks for the help same type pump was fitted,will get son to put it on diagnostics at weekend.
