It's been back and had turbo actuator, 2 tyres, front discs, alignment and balancing. Still there! |

Have the same issues myself. Garage have tried everything to sort it. Suspension is fine. Rack is fine. Tracking and whelel balancing. Changed discs all round. EPB shoes. I think it's a sticky caliper myself but they said they are fine. Funnily though after the last time it was in I checked the wheel nuts a few were slightly loose. I tightened them up and did have a blast at the garage. Funnily about a week later I found 3 that had slightly loosened again. It's like a quater turn loose. Have ordered new wheel nuts. |

These cars are nothing but headache's or at least mine is lol, I've noticed I have a bit of play in the steering wheel, which can be felt when going over bumpy terrain.. If anybody knows what it could be |

currently going through the same, this only started happening after new brake pads where fitted.... following fitting I had a sticky caliper which cause dover heat. this weekend im changing discs and callipers. I will let you know how I get on. |

Be helpful if you filled out your profile so we all know what version of RRS you're driving in future threads. ![]() My TDV8 is starting to feel loose in the steering too. I think it's getting ready for new struts (the ride is a bit brittle these days) and I'll probably throw new arms at it too. After 130,000 hard miles and nearly 9 years I think they're due a change. Although the front lower arms have been changed before I think a full set might be a good plan. In your place, I'd start with a new set of lower front arms. They're the usual wear items at the front end. ![]() 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

I had all these issues after new pads were fitted,wheel vibration,sticking calliper etc.After 3k miles it seems to have sorted its self now,must of been a misshaped pad.By the way it's a 2006 2.7. |

What I have found with mine is that the wheels are losing balance after a couple of weeks. Got them balanced 2 weeks ago and all vibrations gone. Now they are now going out of balance again. What would make them keep losing balance. |

Same as ours was! Weve now lost patience with it and it has been rejected as not fit for purpose. Engine fault came back again after 2 weeks. Turbo, map, maf, csv all replaced and it still did it ! Most unreliable car we've owned! Won't be having another one! Back to defender td5 for us! |

It sounds unlikely and it was the subject of many posts back in 08-09 however, my persistent front wheel wobble was eventually traced to the rear diff.
