judder Report post
hi all not sure if I am on the right post but I have a severe judder from time to time and thought it was the gearbox or torque converter that many others have talked about, but in my case not sure it is, I was driving at about 60 mph on good surface dual carriageway when very harsh judderring started as this has happened before I pushed the accelerator no difference tried to change down using the command shift no affect on judder, into neutral no change braked fairly hard and judder got worse slowed to about 40 mph still bad judder like running over rumble strips and then as quick as it started it smoothed out and I continued with no more problems. this has happened a couple of times and can be after a short distance 20 to 30 miles or maybe once after 120 miles. I am very confused and can't nail this down to any particular area of the car any ideas as this doesn't seem to fit with gearbox issues or brake issues and why only intermittently, I did a double flush a month or so ago and this has had no effect
any ideas

Have you tried swapping the wheels round to see if it changes anything?

I have had exactly the same symptoms on my 4yr old D4 with 75k miles in the clock. Only happens occasionally and I cannot deliberately induce it to happen. Slowing right down to less than 20mph stops it. Wondering if it is parking brake shoes resonating. It had a service not so long ago so parking brake should have been adjusted but I don't trust the LR franchised dealer who did the service.

tried a different set of wheels and tyres and still the same bit confused on that one as only happens on rare occasions I thought it might be a tyre problem at first such as delaminating on inside and now think not to do with tyres. just realised I am in the disco 4 part and mine is a disco 3 2006 with 118,000 on the clock.

Doesn't sound like TC or gearbox if it happens in neutral or with no power applied.
Its almost like something is resonating at a set frequency.

don't think it's brakes binding as no retarding effect but good thought as braking mad it feel worse, any thoughts on drive shafts twisting up or am I up the wrong tree?

hi numpty, is it possible for the handbrake to start to apply itself whilst driving? and would that not feel like applying the brakes.

I had the same thing on my old D3. Generally only happend after the parking brake had been applied. As it was an auto I didn't use the parking brake much.
Next time it happens CAREFULLY feel to check if the centre part of either rear wheel feels unusually hot MY12 D4 HSE Marmaris Teal
MY08 D3 XS Java Black - gone
MY03 D2 ES Zambesi Silver - gone

many thanks a11geo, I will check as you suggest but this usually happens at speed and on dual carriageways so not always easy to stop,did yours do the judder many miles after use of handbrake or short while?
