Protest at Land Rover on Knocking Noise etc/BBC Watchdog

The "knocking noise", the forum has enough info on it: http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic7227-120.html and as some say, a handfull of dealers do the work and give 100% (Charles Hurst being one) Bow down

but as in the thread above maybe with should have a rrsport meet? Very Happy But at Land Rovers HQ at Gaydon and then move to the factory (or the other way round)?

Get as much press involved as possible Thumbs Up

Take the poll and lets see who would? GONE** RRS 3.0SC Silver fully loaded Smile - 2020 110 loving it

Mine knocks, not all the time (ie on the same stretch of road at 30 hitting same lumps and bumps, some days it does some days it doesnt Rolling Eyes ) its bearable but should it have to be? NO!

Count me in. I have found another dealer who is prepared to attempt a rectification of the problem and will let you know how this goes.

I have asked the poll to run for 14 days... once we have a good number I will of course let Mr Popham and his exec office know that we are going to have a "meet" to chat amongst owners and the press as to the qualities of this "luxury" vehicle and see if he would like to join us Rolling with laughter GONE** RRS 3.0SC Silver fully loaded Smile - 2020 110 loving it

If I'm about, then yes...........as long as its lawful.

Though I appear to be one of the lucky ones thanks to Stratstones Newport Pagnell who have fixed it after 10 months of ownership from new and numerous days in the garage. Fingers crossed. Thumbs Up

One noticeable difference apart from no knocking, is that my latest set of tyres aren't scrubbing on the outside edges yet after about 3K miles. The first set were very badly worn at that mileage.

New parts fitted - AR bushes all round, front AR linkage and FNS lower ball joint. Full 4 wheel alignment done after I replaced the tyres. Which is appalling for a new car at this price Exclamation

But it did came very close to moving to Charleshurst to whom I am very grateful for the advice and support they provided to me during this time.

LR.....If I didn't like the vehicle so much I would have jumped ship. TDV6 - gone

Count me in I'm sick of driving round in an expensive motor that sounds like an 80's fiesta with a knackered ball joint.

My dealer tried filling me full of crap last week so I have been thinking of driving the car through their showroom window just to get press involved.

Someone may take some notice then Twisted Evil

I'll definitely be there. My cars just been in for its first service and the knocking. I said I don't want it back unless its fixed permenantly. The Service manger said it's pointless bringing it in then, what a Censored attitude.

Shocked Shocked

Take his name with you......the Censored tw*t.......people like that deserve to be beaten with birch!! Thumbs Up

My dealer has bent over backwards to try and fix it, he just does not have the tools for the job....which technically is LR's fault, therefore their issue. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!
