We're on a good run with the (113K) 4x4 Multijet at the moment and it's running really nicely but there is one thing that's niggling at the moment that I'd appreciate thoughts/advice on. As with the last one (smoke in specific circumstance) it's very particular to a certain action. To explain:
My regular run involves a stretch of dual carriageway with a roundabout at each end, so to get on at either end it's a slow RH turn round the roundabout and then straight into acceleration up to NSL. The issue is that I don't get clean acceleration, I get a slight judder, associated with a mild metallic noise. I can make it stop and resume smooth acceleration by just a momentary lift of the throttle. Alternatively I can come off the roundabout and maintain my speed for a little while, and then acceleration will be smooth.
Welcome your thoughts, knowledgeable comrades - failing front LH driveshaft maybe? Wheel bearing? Something else?
