MDP, had to laugh when we were walking around the body in white part of the factory. There were the pressings for the A-pillar with little plastic bits stuck on them.

Apparantly to break up airflow around the A pillar to reduce wind noise.

I think what he meant were they are time delay release springs. When you hit a random time after production, they eject your A pillar cover to give you that 'Added fright factor!'

Especially good fun when done at M'way speeds!  Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

So................ picked her back up late last night and was told that they have fitted the NEW modified LR part to the lower steering shaft.......

Models: LA - Discovery 3 , LS - Range Rover Sport
Title: FAQ 22241 - Steering light knock over bumps.

Last Modified: 24-APR-06
Category: Chassis
Symptom: 303000 Steering/Handling
Content: User will report light knock over bumps. Some will show slight free play in steering.
Cause is LOWER steering shaft (Under bonnet) NOT the steering rack.
With vehicle static engine off check for free play in steering aprox +/- 3 degrees, with gentle input.
Also some vehicles may exhibit a light knock on uneven surfaces between 10 to 15 mph.
If the shaft is the cause please use new part number QMN500240 (RHD) or QMN500250 (LHD) to repair as this has improved characteristics for noise. Part was introduced to production at L319 - LA390436
L320 - LS956379. If shaft does not resolve knocking noise please submit an EPQR and contact dealer technical support.

Smarticus has also posted re this issue in the Technical section

When I dropped the car off at 8am I stood waiting for the dealership to open & discovered I wasn't the only one having the same problem - a chap was also having his Disco3 done the same day.
