I have a 2003 TD5 Disco and recently had both prop shafts replaced due to loud rumbling noises at 55 mph, however, I still have a slight rumbling sound at all speeds - sometimes its louder, sometimes I can't hear it at all.
I have tried all sorts of driving 'techniques' to see if I can isolate the sound - downhill out of gear, on the flat out of gear at various speeds etc.
All I have discovered is that if its in neutral and moving I cant really hear it but when in gear its obvious. One garage suggested the clutch but personally I think that's because they want the thick end of a grand to replace it!
My worst scenario is the big ends - had a similar rumble on a Triumph GT6 a number of years ago. However, its just passed the MOT and one of the advisory points was that there is some play in the near side (outer) track rod end - do you think that this maybe causing the rumble? Has any one in the forum had a similar experience or other suggestions as to what this maybe.
