Oh dear.... "clonking noise when going over bumps" doesn't sound very promising - one of the highest profile problems on previous RRSes was something along these lines. We were all hoping it would be fixed in MY10 as the system is different....

As for your other problem, it was not unknown on pre-MY10 cars - again, difficult to tell if it's the same thing with the newer version as there's obviously very few around as yet.

Best put it back in the hands of the dealer to resolve

Oh my no better even witht the 2010 model.


as for the knocking noise just wait for WW to reply to that.

Oh dear sounds like the same kind of problems that occurred in the first batch in 2005.

I'd thought they would have fixed the front suspension issue. WW won't be pleased at spending £66k for another one with that has that standard feature, even if it goes faster.........immagine the slow clonk........clonk in a diesel and in the 5.0 litre it will be clonkclonkclonk

Ranger, I hope the dealer can sort it for you  TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone
Audi Q5 3.0 Tdi Sline wef 6/11/10

Is yours a 3.6 TDV8 or 3.0 TDV6 etc?? This sounds like a nightmare - hope you get it sorted - keep us posted. 2010MY RRS TDV6 HSE

Brand New Car and All these Problems!!!
And the return of the clonking Noise

sorry to hear that, i would hope that LR would be getting on top of this by now...it would be interesting to see over the next 6 months how many other problems are reported with the MY10's of a similar ilk to the MY05-09 variety's Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

MY20 Defender 110 SE P400 Eiger/Ebony
MY10 3.0 RRS TDv6 Fuji/Ebony/Anigre

OMG

That is truly horrendous news

I just don't think characteristic will cut the mustard this time LR, I have had 3 years of hell wrt knockety-knock, there is no way in a million years I can go through that again.

Keep us posted Ranger - this could spell the end of my excitement for the 2010MY if this is confirmed as a FREE addition to the exhaust soundtrack, W k

Good luck ..........not that you should require luck when buying a "premium sophistication" model  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

5 series for the miles

RRS S/C factory built HST - Gone

45 others have been and gone!

Sorry to hear that, must say I'm not completely surprised. Disappointed but not surprised.

Really in two minds about getting the MY2010, more new bits, more teething problems, and sounds like some old characteristics.

I would be parking it on the dealer's forecourt and suggesting they give you a loan car while you wait for your new one at no extra charge. Iwould be furious if I were in your shoes.....  Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

Maybe try another dealer, if they can't sort it then do as above.

Sorry to hear your news. Get them to carry out a thorough quality check on the car before giving it back to you.

We've delivered 25 1020 RR's so far and (touch wood) we have not had a single problem after handover. I've not experienced any knocking on the ones I've driven so it could be an unrelated issue which they need to address.

James

took vehicle back today spent time with one of the technition for road test he heard the noise and said its the caracteristic
of the car and related it to A.R.C anti roll something and that i am not the first to report this problem of this clonking
he said its nothing he can do but address this problem to land rover.please advise
he also mentioned the suspension,its quite confusing with all these technicle jargons

Well LR strikes again.

They design a great car, update it and don't fix inherent problems.

If it's that bad I'd be inclined to reject it, I know you'll have a difficult time doing so. Ask them where in the brochure it describes these wonderful characteristics.

Push back though and make sure they are not fobbing you off, considering the other problems you've had you need the car fully checked as James at CHPR said. Speak to the Dealer Principal, tell him you're not happy with the assesment of the fault and raise to LR Customer Services also. Good Luck
