disco ii with 25000 miles has developed rumble or vibration almost lke i'm going over grooved pavement but i'm not. seems to happen only over 70 mph- worst at 75. can't decide if it is tire related or drivetrain. please advise.

I am having the same problem on a Disco 1 with 47k miles. I am going to purchase new tires and springs. I will let you know if this helps.

is your rig lifted?
what kind of tire are you running?
any accidents?
steering wheel shakes?


have you checked with your l/r center - could be drivetrain and serious - i'd tke it in right away - could be a bearing in your drivetrain

...sometimes it as easy as a missing wheel weight. check to see if one has fallen off...

A couple of cents worth...

LR of Dallas advertises a loaner for all service, and they have come through each time. One catch, though, is that the loaner is supposed to stay in Dallas County, which is several counties away from home. I've found that both with respect to availability and where you can take a loaner, the dealerships, in Dallas and elsewhere, are accomodating.

Unfortunately, I had to "lawyer up" on them one time for a two week service (new t-fer case under warranty) but, once I spoke to the manager, I received a sincere apology and a new loaner and drove it where I pleased. If the service advisor says "no", ask for his/her boss. Used LR or not, the service is very expensive; a loaner is not too much to ask.

How much is a 30K, assuming no complications?
