I recon mine was worse after the ECU upgrade,done by BD.

Mine definitely is worse around 2200 to 2500 RPM,similar to yours.I find i can sort of drive through it.

Drove the son's puma the other day & i couldn't believe how smooth the engine is compared to the TD5.

Mine has also got a BD chip fitted before I bought the vehicle. Strange..

All I know Is that my mounts are sagged my flexi joint and exhaust skins have seperated and my handbrake drum is rattling its going to be a noisy drive up to Brisbane at crissy!

I did and it hasn't always been like this. I do not have the DB chip. I put on the original ECU code and drove around for a while and there was no difference.

Sitting at 100 on the freeway is just in that range so really annoying. I can't drive through it without risking a fine.

Brand new land rover stamped engine mounts and the GB mounts are OK. Am going to refit my handbrake drum over the weekend but as it vibrates while stationary, I should be looking further forward.

Hi sorry to hi jack you thread catch 22 but with my flexi joint I was wondering do I replace with land rover was quoted around 650 fitted or start looking at whole exhaust options?it's sooo loud and at the exact revs as yours I push through it when going past people to save embarrassment!

Any muffler shop should be able to replace the flex joint, they are expensive, even from a muffler shop, mainly because they are stainless steel, the whole exhaust system is stainless by the way, just in case you were not aware.

Will cost you no more than $200 from the right exhaust shop. Had some numpty want to charge $650. If in Sydney I can PM you details...
