Does your D3 knock and rumble a little over uneven surfaces?
Mine's done 100k now and has had the usual stuff done on the suspension but still rumbles a little on potholes etc
Part of me thinks the car drives fine otherwise, is 8 yrs old and has done 100k. Part of me thinks something is going to fall off soon and I'm sick of driving an 'old car'.
Am I being ridiculous? Does your D3 'grumble' a little or should I reasonably expect it to be as refined as a new one given I've done front bushes, rear arms, and track rod ends? Or is there something else that might want doing to make it perfect?'06 TDV6 HSE, Java, Black Leather, Logic 7, Privacy, Steps

Mine does the same. I need a new lower steering column.
Getting it sorted next month for the MOT.
Let my mate Kev drive mine a couple of weeks ago and he commented that the steering was heavier than his own D3 so something is amiss.

Anti roll bar bushes and Links would definitely be in the frame at that mileage especially rears.

I had one of the rear upper arms replaced recently as the bush (I think) failed the MOT
could be the other side maybe that's knocking now?'06 TDV6 HSE, Java, Black Leather, Logic 7, Privacy, Steps
