    Wobble At Most Speeds - Prop Removed

    I had the very same problem as you and it turned out to be a bearing missing from the driveshaft there are supposed to be 3 in there but i had one missing causing the wobble,my inner boot was split and somehow don't know how i lost a bearing. replaced the drive shaft and it runs sweet again.

    Is 90000 miles much in Freelander terms?

    hi, i am on 186000 (TD4) and still going strong although it's had a few quid spent on it over the last 18 months. If yours is trouble free and still does the job i would keep hold of it and keep your money until things start to go wrong then get rid this is what i would do.
