Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / January 2006P38 slight juddering on deceleration
at around 30mph, doesnt do it on acceleration & it still does it if i coast in neutral. It's not bad, but slightly noticable, feel like the effect of having slightly knobbly tyres on, but these are Michelin road tryes. Nige  SignatureSubaru WRX Range Rover LSE (Bob) FOR SALE!!!

Check the handbrake is releasing properly Nige, sometimes if it's sticking a little bit you'll notice these symptons.

First thing to note Nige is that P38 owners under no conditions do work on their own vehicles ;-) (though I reckon by the end of this year P38s with problems will change hands for less than a grand and then things will change) Take it to a garage who have an appropriate ramp to get all wheels in the air at the same time and they can check it there, if it's not the handbrake they can have a prod about while they're under there and see if they can find what's happening. Is it happening all the time? If so that should make it easier to find.

Rebalancing cured it for another 15K. Never had to do that on any other vehicle with those tyres, so maybe it's just a "feature".
