samcoombes is on a distinguished road
My Indy checked the diff and drivetrain and said all is good. I crawled under and checked the flexdisc and that too looks ok. Car has only done 97k miles?

The rumble is around 40mph at any speed. Joining a motorway for example is most noticeable, or if going uphill at speed and it drops a gear, the vibration is really bad for a few seconds or so them goes.

If i brake, the noise stops after i have reduced speed.

I thought the rear diff was sealed? I can change the oil then?
