I seem to have developed a slow speed judder on the disco,ie when i am crawling along in traffic?
I did have a problem with the hand brake sticking a while ago but the garage adjusted that at last service, I dont think its the brake pads sticking as it dosn't move a full revolution of the wheel inbetween bumps.
most perplexing problem but i was hoping you peeps could help :D

ok so i have had a twizel with the propshaft's and with the car stood in P the rear is solid as a rock but the front turns a couple of degrees too and fro, so is the rear ok and the front in need of attention?

There usually is a bit off ply in the front output section of the transfer box.
You need to give the props a real good waggle in all directions. Or possibly take them off and have a feel of the joints. If they've not been greased in a long time they'll be on their way out.

rear prop i believe


mine does the same

sure way to find out is take off the front prop

engage difflock (high)

go for a drive

Sounds like prop shaft UJ wear. Soemtimes it's really hard to feel the wear, but it's there.

Also check the diff nose bearing for play (can you move the prop up and down?). I have this problem at the moment, it is also accompanied with EP90 ****ing out the nose of the diff.

well its been to another chap who knows LR's and he seems to think its the transmition brake that is gunked up and sticking, muck cheaper than recon auto box:D

this guy had 2 RaRo's and 2 Discos outside his place when i called to pick mine up, used to work at the last main dealers so should know his stuff~???
