Shaun Visited the Jag specialist today and he has told me it is the torque converter that is causing the problem. To fit a brand new converter will be £1050. Well sickened off!. Time to looking for a 5 series BMW I think. Regards Malcolm

Hello Peter Thanks for the welcome. I have had the jag lurch resolved but the vibration issue persists. The fault only happens during the first mile or so of driving and lasts for only 30 seconds to a minute and it doesn't happen again until after the car has been stood for a while. It feels as if the brake on the nearside is binding but this would be felt as soon as the car was driven if it was related to being stood for a while. I have also had new rear discs and pads fitted less than 3000 miles ago. Will speak to the local jag specialist and post any thing useful in the next few days. Malcolm

Hello Shaun Did you get anywhere with the vibration problem. I have the same issue. After driving the car for about a mile and only travelling at about 40mph vibrations are felt/heard from the nearside rear, and the revs go up and down over a 250 rev band. After a couple of minutes the vibrations stop, the revs remain constant and I never get another problem no matter how many times I stop and start the car through out the day. The problem re-occours the next time I use the car, which may be up to a week later. In my opinion it is not the gearbox or the diff, as the problem would be more consistent and the car suffered from the jag lurch which was remedied when I had the gearbox reprogrammed at a local jag specialist. The car drives impeccably except for this fault. Is there anyone who has experienced this low speed vibration problem and who can offer some advice on how to resolve the issue. Shaun, in the absence of any replies I will go to my local jag specialist to seek advice and will post their comments in due course. Malcolm
