As a newby to RR I have taken my 2007 RR Sport to the local dealer to have some niggles ironed out. The dealer was great and did loads of stuff without any problems.

One of these issues was a creaking on the dash when going over uneven surfaces. It sounds like the centre of the dash is rubbing against the base of the windscreen. The dealer states they need to take the dash out, 2 to 3 days, as they cannot find any loose screws or clips ect.

Any ideas ?

I dont fancy spending £500 to stop a creaking noise but it gets on your nerves !

Not something we have much experience of on here, the front screen is an part of the structural strength of the car so maybe it's been replaced at sometime.......................... the car isn't a crashed rebuild is it? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Its a FSH ex company director car and supplied with HPi and been checked over by a police vehicle inspector pal so its all ok ect

Its been suggested there might be a gap between the dash and the screen and its bouncing backawards and forwards when driving ?

Get a can of silicone spray and a rag and with the pipe that goes in the aerosol nozzle, have a spray in and around very joint you can get to. Your dash will creak no more. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Had this on my 08 TDV8

Guy Salmon Leeds took 3 goes to sort it, lead technician said he had to go right back to the four+ main bolts that hold the dash assembly to the bulkhead. (Added lots of scratches to the car paintwork in doing so, strange for an internal fault)

Mine was the only one they could remember that did it........... lucky ol' me!

Anyway fixed under warranty and the fact that I was going to leave the car with them until fixed as it detracted from my enjoyment of it sooo much.

Ah I do miss the V8 sound.

Anyway, good luck

Can you tell me how long ago you had the work done ?

It will give me a starting point to go at the dealership with....

Cheers

I had the creaking noise but only twice - both times after I had the heating on. I just put it down to the plastic warping lmao and with all the other stuff I've been having it wasn't a major issue. I just crank the music up.
