We have an 18k miles 2010 TDV8 and whenever we drive over uneven roads (back road to my sons school) there is a constant rattle/knocking sound which you can almost feel in your feet and which is definitely associated with the up and down suspension movement of the front wheels.

I have had a quick read of most of the posts on the forum regarding a 'knocking' sound and deep down know that this sounds like my problem but does anyone know if the late 2010 models suffer from this, with this low mileage and if so, what is the cure is please.

Luckily the car still has over 18 months manufacturers warranty left.

bushes of some kind, most likely lower wishbone or arb RRS gone

Mine got fixed a few weeks ago on a 2008 TDV8 and the service manager said that as these RRS's are a heavy car they are prone to these bushes going on a 18-24 mth frequency. Whilst I found this hard to believe he cited the fact that many RRs are driven quicker than expected over such things as sleeping policemen. I can only assume that if you are driving over heavily rutted roads on a daily basis then it might take its toll.

I suggest it is the anti roll bar bushes - an dine cost 130 to replace by LR. TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

It does sound like the anti roll bar bushes, pretty annoying eh!.

Whilst not ideal. I am regarding it as standard wear and tear items. I suppose it goes with ownership of the RRS. still love them though.

I had the new M3 and tyres lasted only 9 months so I suppose every car has its overhead. TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx
