Not sure if this was posted earlier, but I recall reading quite a few complaints in recent past (from 2008 owners in particular) about an annoying, slight rocking motion of driver and/or passenger seats when coming to a stop. The problem would sometimes come back even after the dealer replaced the seat track/rail mechanism, as a TSB issued a few months ago recommended.

Forget that TSB, it's no good anymore. A new service message released on the GTR appears to confirm that new seat rail may only solve the problem temporarily and, until a better rail design is released, the SSM suggests that the seat literally be thrown out of whack a bit to stop the rocking motion - and the customer complaints.

Concern
Range Rover Sport, Discovery 3 / 4, LR3 / 4 & Freelander 2 / LR2 customers may report 'Seat rock' from either the drivers or passengers front seat on their vehicle. This SSM supersedes Technical bulletins LTB00176V2/3.

Action
It is imperative that the seat rails at this stage are not replaced but the attached containment process carried out on a fix on fail basis. Replacing the seat rail or any other seat components may only temporally fix the customers concern. Please note:-The attached validated process is an interim containment process until a new quality assured seat rail is available.
