Hello Sparg,
I too have the pleasure of owning a Defender 110. When I first got it I went off on a Road trip to sunny Cornwall. I noticed a vibration at high speeds but all was fine at average speeds ( 40 -65 mph). I thought I should check out for loose prop, warn UJ's and dutifully lay underneath shaking and turning bits and bobs but all seemed fine.
I spent a lovely time that week up until the last day I was there ... This was the day that the prop came adrift , as I was pulling away up a hill ( Engine under load) went straight through my drivers floor panel just missed my foot!
My how suprised the wife, kids and dogs were ! Bang ( Lots of dust). Limped home on one prop but all ended well , a new Prop and UJ's later
I reckon check your UJ's in the Prop ( most likely front one)
