It's because the gear change is between 40 and 50 into top. It will change up at about 50 but if you slow to almost 40 it wont change down unless you floor it so it seems like it is stuck in the mud until it reaches 50 ish. Our lasses motor is the same but she also has big tyres on hers :)

Some of the welders I work with would be proud of that ;)

If you get a set of drawings done can you send me a copy and I'll see what I can do.

Gearbox oil level & condition of oil filter check that the selector is moving properly (get someone to move the stick while you look and see if the selector lever is moving properly) We had a very similar problem with an old Volvo, turned out the oil was old and ****ty ;)

Can't be that **** then :)

Is there any oil in it? Does the oil need topping up or changing? Does the selector move back and forth easily?

Changed the oil seal in my transfer box. Thanks to Trewys thread from years ago for pointers :)

Greased up the prop shafts and ujs on both our Discos :)

Changed front bearing and front propshaft.

Changed the front bearings today and took it for a spin, still doing it. Had another look underneath and a good feel about around the bushes, mounts etc. Here's a clue ;)

Changed the prop, flange and spacer. Someone on here sells them, he also sells them on ebay (can't remember who though), you get everything you need, even the bolts :D

Got shot of the doughnut last year and fitted a 200 Tdi rear prop Thanks anyway :) It doesn't vibrate when knocked into neutral. No movement in rear prop either (not that I can feel)

I have that cb. I don't know if yours will come with the channel changer on top of the mic but if it does it's a right pain in the ass. Other than that it does what I need it too :) Good price too ;)

Discovery 300Tdi 1997 :) Driving back today noticed that the old lass was vibrating badly, a bit like when you accelerate hard in too high a gear, only a lot worse when I accelerate. It doesn't do it in the lower gears 1,2, and 3rd it does it in 4th from about 30mph and in top around 50 mph...

Fitted modulars with mud tyres :) Cleaned out my rear axle breather. Tightened up the wheel bearings. Fitted new bulb behind the clock - now I can see the time in the dark :D Put on new spare wheel carrier.

Cheers :)

Just fitting standard 235 70 tyres. Cheers

At present I have alloys on my Disco, I am putting a set of Dakar tyres on and I am thinking of putting modulars on as well. The modulars seem to stick out more (offset ?) so will this cause me any problems with excess wear on wheel bearings etc? I know it's probably a stupid question but if...

You could join us BBM4X4 There is usually someone out every month Mods- hope this link is ok, we are just a local group that go laning :)

Cheers for that. Our local group are planning an outing at the end of May and that'll come in useful. ;)
