Yesterday my clutch went so today I got towed behind a discovery (all 4 wheels on the ground) engine running, in 2wd in neutral. Joined an a road and were doing about 50 suddenly the whole car was shaking, then it went away? Please help, only had the car 2 days :(

Sounds a bit like Jimmy wobble. Being towed changes the forces on the car perhaps provoking a steering wobble

Car may have been pulled slightly when being towed to the left or right causing the tyre to slip hence the vibration. Or summing fell off the disco:-p
