titan Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 hi there well a bit of back ground, was driving around in the disco (300 mreg) today doing the shoping etc. parked up for a couple of hours jumped in it again to nip to B&Q and she started to shake in secound gear at around 2500rpm, at first i thought it must be the rubbish road i was on but it wasn't, its not like the 70mph shake you get in a wolf it more like the sort of shake you get when a front wheel drive car is trying to spin the wheels but the tyers are holding if that makes sense, iv check all the wheel nuts and pinny on here has been had had a look, only conclution is the wheel bearings are going but this is normaly gradual but this has started this afternoon. any other surgestions please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errol209 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 any other surgestions please Is it related to road speed, revs, just second or any gear, worse on acceleration, deceleration or what? Have you got a puncture or picked up a wheel clamp by accident ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltyoldseadog Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I had something sort-of similar on my 200 TDi K-reg Disco which turned out to be the front prop shaft. It was jammed solid and did not extend and retract like it is supposed to. The new shaft produced a magical transformation. Just a thought, in case it ain't the wheels.
