    Disco 3 (LR3) Vibration on acceleration and cruising

    After servicing the gearbox and adding some Dr Tranny the vibration has gone! I also noticed N/S/R wheel is binding so I'm going to strip that tomorrow and rebuild with new shoes/calliper pins etc Thanks for all your suggestions and help

    Disco 3 (LR3) Vibration on acceleration and cruising

    What you described is pretty much exactly my findings, so I gather they are fine. The centre bearing looked fine to me and relatively new but for the price I may as well do it again! I'm not sure if placebo but after topping up the gearbox the vibration seems to have improved. I think I'll do...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Vibration on acceleration and cruising

    I get you, by well maintained I meant possibly a few years ago and they gave up in the end :D It's had all new lower and upper arms and airstruts all around, new propshaft 2 years ago (except the boot has split), it's been kept indoors every night and has VERY little rust anywhere been serviced...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Vibration on acceleration and cruising

    Just bought a 2007 Disco 3 2.7 auto, it's done 199k miles (high I know!) It has however been well looked after by a company. I'm experiencing a vibration (only sometimes?) on acceleration, it seems worse when under load or going up a hill. When sat at 70MPH you can feel it and as soon as you...

    Disco 2 TD5 Wading issue

    Not quite, I've had it there before tho and the issue wasn't there. I've started taking it out now as it was killing the power steering due to it struggling. It happens a lot easier if you hit water at speed (I know it's a stupid idea), going slow it seems to be fine 70% of the time. My D2 is...

    Disco 2 TD5 Wading issue

    Sorry for the bump and I hope you are still active, however did you find out the issue? Got a disco 2 td5 that does the exact same thing when wading deep (bonnet height). ECU is sealed up along with the snorkel so it's not them. I've seen a lot about the crank position sensor, is this possible...

    Disco 2 Can't get into 1st gear whilst moving

    I'm likely going to be putting in a used gearbox/transfer case soon, I'll be sure to replace those seals when I do I changed the oil in the transfer case today and it looks pretty ok (albeit quite black, but no water)

    Disco 2 Can't get into 1st gear whilst moving

    I wanted to give it another flush, so I'll give this a go. Are additives such as molly slip any good? I struggle for power on any sort of incline unless in 1st due to the bigger tyres. I need to get that sorted soon with different gearing. I'll give double clutching a go, makes sense if the...

    Disco 2 Can't get into 1st gear whilst moving

    Within the last year, It's slowly been getting more and more difficult to get into 1st gear whilst moving at any speed other than a dead stop. It will just grind until you are stopped, then it will very easily get into 1st with no other issues at all. All other gears are also smooth as can be...
