Engine and/or transmission vibration

I'm just writing to see if anybody else has experienced this problem and may know if there is actually a problem or not.

My Defender (puma) has now covered just under 20k without any issues at all. But now, I am experiencing what can only be described as a much louder engine noise/vibration at around 1900rpm's in all gears. The noise/vibration is more noticeable in 5th and 6th with there being extra load on the engine. I cannot work out whether the cause is actually transmission or engine related but the engine does sound noticeably louder and not as smooth as it used to be before I noticed the change.

Does anybody know if this is a problem?

PS I did think it may have been the EGR valve sticking but there is no black smoke whatsoever which from reading is a typical symptom of that problem

Many Thanks Rich

Is this when the engine is under no load ?

Like when you are at a constant speed not accelerating and not decelerating.

Yes that's right Pete, its at around 1900revs 4/5/6th gears at a constant speed without accelerating so around 40/50/60 mph depending on gear.
It's just been into Land Rover to have some swivel seals replaced and they said they couldnt find anything wrong with the engine.

I may be wrong but from the experience i have had on this engine and the transit van its self tome it sounds like the EGR actuation problem which at the moment is been addresed by Ford and i hope soon landrover.

Pete, I had one of the EGR blanking plates fitted to my 300 Defender before this and it definitely improved things. Does fitting an EGR blanking plate = a healthier engine with no detrimental effects?

PS where can I find the EGR on this engine?
