Hiya,
I own an 08 57 plate HSE that seems to vibrate when I drive it. I can feel it mostly on motorways but it's always there.
A certain dealership has had my car in the workshop from day one as I noticed the problem immediately after purchasing the car in April. Assuming that it was the ballancing I had no problem......until now. The dealer says the shaking is normal and if I can't tolerate it then swap cars for a discovery?? I've asked to drive a different sport to compare although they always fob me off.

I would like someone who owns a sport to drive mine to see if the vibrating is obvious or a characteristic as the dealership states.
I live in a small village outside Cardiff in Wales - if you're local and interested then please let me know. I will be accompanying you with the drive and I would like you to arrive in your sport so I can see that you're genuine!


BTW This isn't a joke A5 s-line special edition in black - missed.
Q7 in black, gone and certainly not missed
BMW 530 in black, gone but missed dearly.
A4 sline avant in grey, nice but boring.
Disco 3 in bonatti - loads of fun and missed.
TT roadster grey with orange leather lmao
Hubby currently owns a girly red 07 Audi S3 but it's awesome!!

Just go to a different LR Service Centre. This is not normal. BTW TDV6, TDV8 or petrol? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I had the same problem on my 08 evident at around 60-70mph equivalent.

LR changed the steering rack 4 tyres and eventually the rear diff which they claim fixed the problem. I don't know because my car was almost new and I was "assisted" into a new car.

It maybe worth checking all these with a new service department. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

RRSBoy is based in London and Newport and drives a TDV8 (and is pretty switched on as to what is and isn't normal), drop him a PM?

It's a TDV6 and all my local dealers are the SS - Swansea, Cardiff and Newport.
They've replaced my rear diff but don't seem to want to do anything else. They don't believe that my suspension is sagging either and the 4x4 screen has flashing red bars. I've emailed them today with a photo. A5 s-line special edition in black - missed.

Can you be a bit more descriptive on your vibration? is it wheel shimmy or drivetrain related?

Your dealers sound utterly hopeless. Your car is under warranty and they should fix it. Have you though of going to LPR and having a night in London to get it sorted? Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
