Vibration through Discovery . H

Mayflower · Apr 4, 2018

We have a discovery TD4 Auto 2013
It intermittently has a severe vibration when driving in top gear . It feels as if it starts at the front between the seats and travels down the middle of the car . It feels like it’s going to stall. We have to stop and set off again and it disappears.
We had a new prop shaft last weekend
Fitted at Landrover and still we have the problem .
We also had the bushes on the wishbone arms replaced at mr clutch but Landrover have said the whole wishbone should have been replaced .
Has anyone experienced this problem . At the moment we are over £1000 spent and still we have the problem .

Welcome.

No idea, sounds like something I experienced on a rental Mondeo a few months ago, that happened once and never again for the whole 1800 miles we had it.

Land Rover should be able to advise better TBH but I would be surprised if it was a handed suspension problem, sounds like trans trouble.

Landrover thought the prop shaft was the problem . They ran a diagnostic but nothing showed

Diagnostics will reveal electronic problems but this sounds mechanical. Prop was a good call but could be clutch? Maybe transmission somewhere along it's line.

I presume it's a Discovery Sport?
