Hi all, Thrilled new LC200 owner here! I've wanted one for years, and after finally getting fed up with my ever-unreliable range rover, I bit the bullet and found an awesome one-owner white and tan 2013 with only 57K miles, and though it's only been a week, I'm already in love. A new set of mud-worthy shoes are on thier way, as is the factory front spacer kit to level it out. I already have images of rock sliders and roof racks filling my dreams at night, so many fun things to do.
I do have one question though which I couldn't find an answer to, and maybe this is nothing, but I noticed that when I sit at idle in park or neutral (it's not there in drive), there is a very small but cyclical shudder/vibration that appears. It's a low frequency vibration and very subtle, sort of like you're sitting at a table where someone on the other side is bouncing their leg. I got out and popped the hood, and noticed no shuddering or movement from the engine when it occurs, and it's cyclical, so it'll shudder for about 10 seconds, then it goes away for about 20, and it's so slight that you have to pay attention to notice. It seems timed with something occuring underneath though, I hear a click, the rpm raises ever so slightly, the shudder appears, then another click, the rpms drop back down (barely 50 rpm) and the shudder goes away. Thoughts? Am I imagining things?
