Just picked up a 96 Discovery SD 5sp about a month ago with 89000 miles. Everything was real smooth(acceleration, braking, suspension, shifting). I got my oil changed last week and flushed the engine, the old oil was black. The owner of the lube shop said my tranny, diffs, ball joints, everything looked good. This week, when I accelerate from 2-3k rpm, my whole car vibrates, not violently, but like I was driving on a bumpy road. It only does this in gear and only when I accelerate, whether i'm turning or driving straight. What do you guys think?

 

Here is a list os things to look at, not in any special order.
Bad tire
Bar U-Joint
Broken motor mounts
Bad CV joint
Let me know what you find.

This is what I found so far
The back driveshaft has a couple of gouges on it where it meets up with the U joint
The engine mounts look like they have seen a lot of heat

Next week, I will be bringing the truck back to the dealer and let them take a look.

 

Let us know what they find.

Land Rover found that the rubber bushing connecting the rear drive shaft to the rear diff fell apart. It was replaced, and now I'm back to a smooth ride.

 

So you lost a rotoflex, ths is not uncommon, I am about to replace mine at 80,000 miles.
Good you are back on the road.
