Drivers seat ,Creaking

Does anyone else suffer from a creaking noise from the drivers seat?

I think its the joint where the seat back connects to the seat base..[/b]

Yup - mine started doing it after the dealer tried to stop it rocking....I think I preferred it rocking than creaking Crying or Very sad Wife's Car: BLACK RRS TDV8 HSE with all the bits Smile

There is a modified seat base available. Mine creaked, was changed under warrentee and got rocking chair instead. After several attempts to rectify this, they fitted a beta version seat base that solved all the problems. That was few years ago so presume that LR then manufactured the beta base as regular replacement 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

the squeaking on mine had to do with the widest part of the seat base rubbing against the inter seat console...Im not a giant so have my seat forward..moving seat back and polishing leather and the console helps

I might try riniging LR at Knutsord to sound them out, i only have a non dealer warrenty so i cant imagine it covering this kind of problem,,

I just might try some silicone spray down the side of the seat first, and look for any loose bolts


Cheers

Neil

No non-warranty won't cover it.. Had the seat base and frame replaced earlier this year! Won't tell you how much!! Big Cry
I thought it was the frame again.
Squeak was really loud too! Very happy it was the bolts that were causing it!! Good luck
