Here you go, knock yourself out....

The ultimate solution to Td5 vibration / knocking
The ultimate solution to Td5 vibration / knocking

I’ll save you some reading and suggest it might be the hand brake shoes?
To test this you’ll need to be traveling and lightly pull on the hand brake, if the rattle goes then you’ve found the problem.
Then you’ll need to either replace the backing plate on the hand brake drum as the shoes wear away the plate and there’s also an upgrade kit that uses stiffer springs as well.
Hope this helps?

And as for oil, a lot of members use Penrite as do I and for all oils

There’s plenty of info on here if you use the search function

Also check your front prop shaft.

Near the drivers seat and they fail in all sorts of ways and therefore make different sounds and peoples experiences are wide and far.

Check the forum for prop shafts on the D2.

I'd say it has all of the descriptions of the front double cardan joint. A doable home job, if requiring 3 hands at some point

Check brake mud shields. They crack around the mounting bolts. Happens... all .... the ..... time. Especially if car has 16” wheels as they often catch the shield when removing/refitting a wheel.

as Lemo stated, it will be handbrake shoes at those revs
as a temporary measure and until you repair / replace the springs / backing plate , adjust the handbrake ( 17mm 3/8" socket on the front side of backing plate down the bottom until you get 2-3 clicks out of the hand brake.

Penrite hpr 5 , 5/40 diesel oil is my go to for the td5 , fully syn dex 6 works well with the 4hp22 eh box , gl5 for the rest of the driveline

Thanx heaps for all the replies guys.
Will start with checking out the hand brake this weekend!
