I have a Range Rover 1997 2.5 diesel DSE and have noticed a slight vibration through the drive train. Your thoughts would be appreciated
 
Something's vibrating somewhere. I'm sure of it.

You can trust me on that. You wouldn't believe how long I've been around Landys.
 
Is that the best you can come up with west slope lol. I am new to this so wondering if a slight vibration was normal

Depends on how slight....if the Torsional damper on the pulley is breaking up it can cause vibes....is it doing it moving or standing still...in gear or not etc...all helps

Also Landyzone isn't you typical forum...p!$$ taking and joking is abound, but the level and depth of knowledge is also second to none....

But what WSR says is perfectly spot on and absolutely 100% correct, something is vibrating causing your vibration....can't be chastised for being spot-bo!!ock on :D:D:D:D
 
He's just waxing down his surf board, can't wait for June.

But most likely propshaft universal joints as per Adams post. Cheap fix, easiest to remove and get the prop company to do them if you're not tooled up. Mark flanges with tippex so you put them back where they were

I laughed so loud....the girlfriend shot me an evil look and whispered...'for feck sake, don't wake the baby you fecking plank'
 
Slight vibration might just be worn tyres.

Could be worn bushes somewhere too. Could be all sorts of things! But UJs definitely worth checking because if they do go it'll make a mess.
 
To be honest I'm not that worried about it but will have a look around as per the above suggestions. At the time of my original post I had only owned for 4 hours. Its in mint condition with 62k genuine miles so just finding my feet, don't suppose it will be long before the odd scratch appears as I plan to have a bit of fun. First thing I am going to do is remove the side steps as I cant see them lasting long. Not sure the previous owner will approve as I was a very well cared for Range Rover from new.
 
To be honest the previous owner is not the only one, if you were planning on going off road in one why didnt you buy a less well kept one?
From what you have posted it sounds like your going to have pleasure in taking a really nice low milage example of the P38 and your just gonna wreck it.
Your car I know but what a shame.
 
Have to agree ^^ again it's your car but trashing something that could be worth a fair bit in the near future as a low mileage example is madness
