Hi People

Newbie to the forum just purchased a 2003 td6 RR.

Problems at 50mph plus with a vibration travelling through the car, feels like a something is un balanced but you can drive through it increasing speed and it goes away.

I first thought that it could be a prop problem, so i removed front and rear and thought i found the problem!!!

1 of the universal joints seemed to be jamming.

Went down to bmw as land rover didnt want to sell me seperate parts they wanted me to buy a £600 prop when all i needed was a UJ.

Anyhow replaced it and still have the problem. HELP!! Anyone come accross this ??

I have also noticed that if i sit on the spot and rev the engine slowly at 2000rpm i can feel the vibration but not as harsh.

Also only getting 18mpg round town.

Any help would be appreciated on where to look next, i have 80000 on the clock and have checked that all the recalls are up to date.

Thankyou Dan
