Spoiled by unsolved issue | |
Can anyone help? My HSE Black has a 'whirring' noise from what appears to be the front left wheel. To explain though, previously, in an effort to solve this issue, it went in to Grange Land Rover (formerly T H White) in Swindon and had a bearing replaced. However the noise is still there and it is totally spoiling what was a fabulous vehicle. I took it back in last week for them to have another look but, having checked everything, they found nothing. The only answers (they said) was that it could be misaligned (they suggested a 4 wheel alignment) or perhaps the tyres are causing it (they said such 'tyre noises' are a common problem on RRS's, when the tyres became slightly chamfered on the shoulders - bull s***? Their inspection reported that the tyres are all fine in terms of tread and general order. To my mind, it certainly seems to be mechanical - it is an obvious 'rotational' whirring noise (a bit like a worn bearing or transmission grind....) and doesn't seem to be associated with tyre roar of any sort. It is driving me mad and I would rather not pay the large sum associated with a 4 wheel alignment just to be told that's not it! So back to the first sentence - has anyone had a similar experience and can anyone help? Thanks in advance. HSE Black - Orkney Grey, ivory leather, privacy glass, tow bar.
