Landrover Discovery TDV6 Vibration

[richardjc14]

I have a Discovery 5 TDV6 2017 early model. In 7 or 8th gear between 50-70mph on slight incline with engine pulling at low revs eg 1500rpm there is a significant vibration coming from the drive train. Its defo not wheel balancing!! If I change down to 6th / increase the revs then the vibration reduces. Has anyone else with a TDV6 seen this problem. My dealer claims 'they all do this', even the Range Sports with the same drive train. But I am not so sure. Please shout if you have a TDV6 that does or doesn't do this...!

I have a a Discovery 3 so its a completely different beast, but looking at those symptoms, my guess is prop shaft bearing or more seriously the torque converter.

I don't buy the 'they all do that'. If they claim that, then let them take you out in one that does it and I bet it won't.

D3 and D4 have theses symptoms and as above, it is often the TC
