I've had a sometimes annoying vibe for a while, usually under load.
Eliminating the obvious causes I'm now onto rear brakes. I've jacked up and rotated wheels previously and nothing apparent, last night reversing onto the drive a squeel had me thinking it was o/s/r brake.
The back end is in the air again and nothing obvious with the brakes, or anything else there at the rear. But selector in park and keys out the wheels are free to rotate (parking brake off).

The car drives through gears well enough, but just accasionally and not for long I'm now getting what feels like a flattish tyre vibe or even prop shaft vibe, tyres good and pretty sure the prop is good (it's been off a couple of times to inspect).

Any thoughts?
 
Ignore, I'm clearly having a blonde day.
The prop rotated, but must've been while in N, it doesn't now. So the wheel rotation was through the diff, ie reversing t'other wheel.
Numpty me.
Still diagnosing the vibes though.
