lets hope it doesnt come back to you with other issues caused by the stealer. Mine went in for brake pads and came out with a badly resprayed door (they damaged it in their workshop). Ive covered that story in an earlier thread.

This is more typical examples of bad service by people who either dont listen, or just dont care. NEVER trust these people with your possessions and always check before and after. MY 14.5 SE SDV6 Loire Blue. Silver roof. 22's.

Well after 22 hours without a car I finally have a courtesy car, the wagon that brought it had broken down en route to me and that meant I could not get to work as I live in the sticks.

It was delivery with seagull sh*t all over it with no fuel and very dirty inside and with only 123 miles on the clock. Ive hovered it and washed it now and will put some fuel in it tomorrow.

Hopefully my car wont be too long and as suggested when it comes back I will give it a good looking over. RRS in chilli red 2014 HSE with a few options, also general grabber AT3 tyres as it does go off road and gets dirty

Well the only update I had was it was too wet to take to car out to listen for the noise, it had been up on the ramps and found nothing so far.

They mentioned the fuel tank as it was on topix but they would have to contact landrover to see if they would do it as a goodwill gesture. I was told it can take 5 hours to do. RRS in chilli red 2014 HSE with a few options, also general grabber AT3 tyres as it does go off road and gets dirty

From your last description of the noise I can't believe this is a tank slap issue. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

I asked them to check for a recall on the tank, that's why they looked at that, as they said it was too wet to take the car out and listen for noises. I will see if they get in contact tomorrow. RRS in chilli red 2014 HSE with a few options, also general grabber AT3 tyres as it does go off road and gets dirty

Finally got the car back today.

The tank has foam baffles in it now, which was a recall and took over 5 hours.

They think the knock was related to the fuel slap.

As for the grumbling noise it was traced to a stone that had somehow got in the heat shield / exhaust area in the engine bay.

Had a long drive back the scenic way (2hours) and no noise now, just have to wait to the fuel gets down now to check that is cured. RRS in chilli red 2014 HSE with a few options, also general grabber AT3 tyres as it does go off road and gets dirty

Yes stones in nether regions can be a pain in the a... ! Glad to see that your RRS is Chilli Red. Mine is too but I find it very difficult to look after especially living on 5 ks of dirt road! SDV8 arrived and fantastic even the infotainment!

Many big trips done in this one.

Nice 2013 Freelander TD4 manual (for daughter to learn on) with much better stereo compared with previous SD4 SE with Meridian which sounded bad!
