All, my car is just coming up to 500 miles on the clock. From cold first thing in the morning when its placed into drive for the first time I get a pronounced clunk from the auto box and it wants to jump forward. After this it does not do it again until the next day in the morning when its cold and driven for the first time..
Has anyone seen the same???.
Obviously if this continues its another thing to add to the dealers list, but just wanted to see if anyone else had this??. I have not seen this before from new on my older 2013 RRS or the Disco4.

Is this just when you engage drive or reverse ?

I have had this on two cars I've driven when stone cold it's almost like when you click park it put the hand break on it stays in gear in case the hand break fails it will not move so I think that's the reason.

If it's when your driving the car stone cold you feel it clunking then I believe this isn't correct and my current car has this Aswell as juddering which I've recorded the revs bouncing around. Car is been replaced anyway due to a number of problems but this one will remains after 3 weeks in the garage and I'm to busy to take it back for another however long at the moment.

From what you have said I think it's normal as per the car held in gear I think but someone else may advise if your not happy though take it back and borrow one of there cars the same spec as yours for a couple of days then you will know if it's your car or normal.

Out of interest, do you park on a slope? MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Hi Wilf, very slight downhill.. My previous V6 LR autobox vehicles were parked at the same place, direction etc and did not clunk or jump..

Try turning off the auto lowering access mode I'm sure it causes the car to try and move which could be why you get that I notice it try's to move on mine you can tell much more if you hold the break and the passenger opens there door if you like it lower then come off the brake the car suddenly drops down.

Hope that makes sense just a thought from my experience I'm also on a very slight incline maybe 1ft difference between front and back. It makes no difference on mine if parked forward or back though so can't be oil sitting all at the back of the box for example. No other cars I've owned have had this feeling either would be interested to see what your dealer says.

Do you apply the EPB before selecting "park"? MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.
