Right. You lot are no help to a damsel in distress. But hey I'm going keep on at it, because if I can do this stuff without so much as breaking a finger nail then anyone can. I've dragged the prop shaft off, and that's cured everything. All the noises, and rumblings and stopped it complaining...

Now then this 98 Petrol FL1 I’ve got. I’m having issues. It’s started to give me rumbly vibrations that I can feel through the seat. I only get it when I’m slowing down/coasting maybe from 25mph down to about 5mph in gear, out of gear, braking, not braking, braking on engine same difference...

Booked it into the local garage this week, but took my Dad out for a short drive first. He got the rear passenger footwell and stuck his ear to the floor - he thought it was coming from directly underneath the handbrake - the VCU. Took it to the garage, told them what I knew it wasn't, and...

I'm a bit worried by this tale of woe. Still can't get the plug out of the IRD for a look, I'm too weak, the floor's hard, and I broke a nail. I'm taking it to a garage next week. Ann

Thought I'd have to take the 2 drive shafts off the back wheels to eliminate the diff.

It does it in & out of everything neutral included, whether the engine is on or off. Whatever it is it's after the gearbox. It's a petrol.

Right then I have a 98 Freelander. Love it to bits. However, last week it started making a noise. It sounds like a very very quiet steam train. It's not loud. I thought I’d caught something on the prop shaft initially like a twig or a cat maybe, but there’s no debris under there. Checked the...
