Wind noise

3 Days into ownership and I know I have a problem somewhere with the wind noise over 40mph on the drivers side is terrible but I cant feel where its coming from.

It doesn't have the issue on the passenger side. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue before I return to the dealer.

Could just be a poorly fitted door seal or similar. There have been reports of bits not fitted well e.g. the fuel filler flap, and it's early days for the new model so quality issues are likely still being ironed out. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Not sure it helps you very much but last week I enjoyed a morning at the Land Rover Experience Centre in North Yorkshire driving a P510e Autobiography.
Lovely car BUT when I took it on the open road for a brief run I immediately noticed wind noise from the driver's side - I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that it was coming from the door mirror......
Definitely irritating when the car is otherwise smooth and quiet!!
Hope you get it sorted.

To help anyone out who also has this issue ive not been able to pinpoint it yet but if air can get in then so can water.

Reading other forums its an issue with the triangular windows which are also fitted to the FFRR and have more posts about it with the Sport been so new but im sure more will appear.

Ill update once I have more info if anyone else manages to get the fix before me i cant wait to hear it Thumbs Up

It's amazing to me that LR doesn't catch these issues during the 1,000's of test KM's. Mind blowing really. 2020 SVR / R.I.P. 2019 SVR / 2016 D4 Landmark / 2005 D3 HSE

I had a car out on test for day last week including a fatr bit of motorway driving. No wind noise at all so it can be fixed I guess.

RRS sold and replaced with a Skoda Kodiaq after appalling RR Dealer experience and LR inability to supply new cars in any sort of reasonable time frame..

These are build quality issues, not design issues. These issues don't get picked up until they are driven - no one wants to pick up their brand new car and find it's got 100 miles on the clock thanks to it being driven to check for rattles and seal issues. So the owner gets the "joy" of discovering them for themselves.

Of course, if quality control in the factory was better... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

In test driving the new FFRR and the new RRS, I noticed the same wind noise at low speeds (30 to 40mph) on both cars - lets hope its something as simple as a door seal / new car teething problems but as others say, worrying these type of issues not picked up during testing.

The wind noise has been diagnosed to the triangular window which isnt in stock so fingers crossed when stock arrives this solves the issue.

Mine is currently in the dealer for this..this was the first time someone had raised the issue with them so they insisted on a teat drive with the master tech which confirmed that i wasnt making it up. Anyhow both A pillars to be taken apart and stuffed with some kind of foam/ padding as per the land rover recommendation 🤔.
On the malfunctioning fuel filler cap apparently my VIN has revealed that there is no fix and that particular line won’t be rectified…
