I have an '07 TDV6 HSE. No drive line shunt, just the annoying rattle from the dynamic response system. Chawton White TDV6 HSE with Alpaca and Rodium, Automatic Climate Control,

The car has gone in today to have this, and other issues , investigated...It is being looked at by a Level 4 LR Tech, so I will let you know what the outcome is.

Gents,

Finally, some much overdue good news with a car that I was rapidly losing faith in…Some time back, the car went to my local main dealer. However, their tech could not find anything wrong with the car. I was not prepared to accept that a car costing nearly £40K should drive like this.

I recently discovered that a chap I used to deal with ref: Lamborghini, has now taken over the service facility at Wimbledon 4x4. They have revamped it and are an authorised LR service centre. I gave Allan a call and explained the problem. Over the phone, he told that this was a known problem and that there were a number of procedures that they could perform on the car that should resolve the issue.

They collected our RRS and left us with a brand new Freelander. The car was in for two days. While the car was there, I would get regular updates on progress. Long story short, they used a number of software updates and modified the diff. The upshot of all this is that the drive line shunt has gone . I also had them look at the suspension as the car was not sitting level when in Access mode. That, too, has been rectified.

The car was dropped back to us, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome and the service. I can really recommend these guys. I have encouraged Alan (Service Manager) to become a member of the site, so that we can have direct access to his expertise.


For the avoidance of any doubt, I have no affiliation with Wimbledon 4x4 other than being a satisfied, new customer.

Good to hear Diablo...

Hi,

I had the same shunt in my Disco 3 (54 plate) I told the dealer at service time and they told me there was nothing wrong with the transmission. I have since got a RR sport on an 06 plate and it does exactly the same.
Must be atrait of theirs.

In LR speak = characteristic or inherent part of the car
