Default Vibration from rear of 03 D2!
I have a 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 and am recently having a vibration coming from the rear of the vehicle. It is vibrating in the rear of the vehicle at any speed when driving straight; however, when turning it becomes more like a shudder in the rear. I have pulled the U-joint & it is a little worn and the Flex Coupler is somewhat dry-rotted with few cracks. I am about to pull the Diff. & go thru it but I would rather know that it is definitely the problem before I have to do that! If anyone else has had or is having this same issue and could possibly contribute diagnostic information, it would be greatly appreciated.

Front Driveshaft if not replaced.... RotoFlex... can always cause vibration... I would replace both with upgrade options...

When working with GEMS vehicles. Never try to locate a misfire by pulling plug leads off - pull the injector connector instead. Otherwise you can blow up the ECU.

Secondly never swap ECUs between vehicles to test them, because both vehicles and ECUs may stop working, and you'll have to have them all reset by a franchised LR dealer (ouch!).
