Hi Thanks for that But this may be relevant. I did have some bolts missing from the IRD Bracket but my mechanic (who I trust but is not a Land Rover expert) replaced them. He thinks the bracket is OK. BUT as I say he's not an expert so could he be missing something bracket wise? If it needed replacing would he see that? Andrew

Here is the problem in brief: 3000 revs (ish) = bad vibration zone. Driving or still it doesn't matter. Found I needed IRD bolts. Been told I need a new rear engine mount to subframe. I bought it as a head gasket failure. Looking at it now since starting it, I think there was an oil leak from the sump, lost oil, got hot, head went bang. The main bearing is noisier than it should be but not overpowering. WON'T use a dealer as I have seen 3, all of whom say it's something different that will cost between £100 and £2,700 to put right so I just don't trust them. At my wits end now - about to get rid if I can't cure. Can anyone help? Andrew
