    Vibrating

    Hi I have a similar sounding problem. I have a very small vibration at low speed but when I get to 85km/h the vibration is massive. It only happens when accelerating or maintaining constant speed. As soon as I take my foot off the accelerator the vibration stops. I have a year 2000 V8 Disco 2...

    diagnostics shuttle valve electrical fault..

    Hi Sierraferry, What do you mean by a mod? I have just had mine tested and the guy in the landrover garage says I will need a new shuttle valve (700 Omani rials which translates to near a grand in sterling) If I look at the pins in the modulator do you know if this will fix the problem, or do I...
