My TDV6 has just clocked over twos and 55000km. All happy until recently (last six months) when replaced the drivers seat, replacement even worse (awaiting LR engineers to devise a fix, in the mean time the seat moves, apparently there is a TSB about this); DVD screen faded in and out - replaced screen, now a slight pinkish tinge; EGR replaced after three visits to the dealer; fuel pump replaced after a number of times conking out in traffic (scary!); rear load cover replaced as the seam split and now a heavy and loud clonk has appeared from the front right hand side suspension when braking or moving back or forward. Another trip to the dealer on Monday morning I suppose. At least I have twelve months warranty left! These issues are a shame, and I am reluctant to bag the car because it is really very good, and in the first 45,000km the car was virtually faultless, but these issues shouldn't be happening at such a low milage. javascript:emoticon('')

My previous BMW X5 was like that, constant problems and whilst covered by warranty.

I think all car brands are the same, you get some who drive problem free, others who experience more pain.

At least you have warranty!

Might also be worth getting you dealer to check out the Bushes and Ball joints, i have had a continual clonk over the last 3 months that no one in the dealership could find, after closer inspection the dealer opted for the "new and improved" Ball joints, which are now on back order with the UK (new design apparently to make them more robust). Getting it changed under warranty (the extended one). Kept knocking even when i went over something marginal like a joint in the road Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Thanks Zilch, I took the wheels off yesterday but couldn't find anything of note. I too suspect a ball joint so will ask them to look at these carefully. Thanks for your advice.
