Team, just bought a FL 1 with the L series diesel. It's low k's for a 98 model, just 181K and is in great nick. I have a TD5 Disco as well but the Freeo's mill vibrates more than I would have expected. The power is okay, it runs well, the transmission is tight and there are no obvious issues. The vibes can be felt through the pedals and seats and it is rather fatigueing. I was thinking engine balance or mounts. Thoughts, ideas??? Thanks, Wal

The Engine mount on the RH side is a fluid filled mount, and common to fail. Use a genuine mount as they still vibrate slightly with the non genuine mounts

Hey Woko, I replaced the mount per your advice and it worked a treat. The old one had literally fallen apart which seems odd as the car had been roadworthied by a LR mech. Anyway, a good result and the lil bus is going well. Thanks again.:)
