Hi, I would post this in the Fault and fixes section but I am told only mods can do that so.
I was driving home tonight, and when I got between 50 and 60 mph I experienced a vibration like thrumming or throbbing from the wheels, this went away when I slowed down.
Has anyone experienced this? Abnd if so what are the potential problems that it could be? 
I am a little worried about this? 
A second question what oil do I need for the TDV6 engine?
Any info would be great.
Thanks

Have you felt the wheels for heat? Could be binding brakes.
Possible diff or bearing in its way out.
I use castrol magnatech 5w-30 the Ford spec.
But best check the wiki fir confirmation.

Well if you think a few hundred for binding brakes, then think thousands for diff that should give you a ball park to work in.

Do you know a good indy in your area that you could use?
I know one in the milton keynes area if it is of any help, they sorted me out 300 pounds for cash, that was for front nearside hub assembly, rear brake pads & that was with them supplying the parts as well. d4 HSE in Corris Grey with Black options pack

Alive Tuning EGR blanking kit
Alive Tuning Re-map
Alive Atrics console
Samco intercooler hoses (from Alive Tuning)
Alive Tuning De-Cat pipe, lovely tone!
Retrofit OEM Hybrid TV tuner

I work in MK, so that would be ideal. Can you get a recon diff if required or are they a new part only?
Or might it be cheaper to strip and rebuild or is that an impossibility?

Check that your nuts are tight
Won't cost a penny It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Are you serious?
I am not suggesting for one moment that you're not, but could it be something so simple?

Go and check them you'll soon find out, common on Landrovers, always carry a 2 foot breaker bar to tighten, but not on the locking nut which is always tightened last and loosened first. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
