Hi all I have a freelander 2 hse auto absolutely love the car fits everything we need a car to do I was a service manager at a land rover dealer so a little biased towards the brand I have a problem that none of my old friends can help with I have a deep vibration when driving at between 1750-2200 rpm if I put into neutral noise goes so on drivetrain but finding it really hard to pinpoint I remember doing a gearbox oil change on a sport for a similar issue but not the same any ideas anyone? Many thanks Alex |

Easy as you are a ex LR service manager. Check for fault codes and if none found drive away home and come back to the forum if it gets any worse FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

No fault codes logged really weird as only at that rev range at any speed thought about rear diff but wouldn't it be constant? |

The rear diff would be constant and proportionate to road speed, I've just spent a lot of money replacing one 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership 2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned ! 2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto . |

OK Zorba I have had my bit of fun last night as an ex Mechanic to include LR (got out the trade 30 years ago) and can also add my father was the Service Director of LR in Leeds for many years so fun over try this first:
