hi all-

Has anyone had a "squeaking noise" when for example driving over a speed hump or braking sharply whilst slowing down for a roundabout or similar?

Have Dynamic Response on a TDV8 with not many km's and little off road work.

I've just had a wash and polish and did not have the noise before so thinking that it's something needing a bit of grease or lube.

Is diagnosing a problem like this likely to be something that a dealer will charge like a wounded bull for or is it all part of the LR warranty.

Yeah, i had that. From memory it was worn bushes or something similar, and all covered under warranty

Mine was never there at the start of a journey, usually about 30 minutes in

Hi it is the front swap bar bushings HELLO EVERYONE,I HAVE BEEN WITH LAND ROVER FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS AND HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS BRAND, IF ANYONE NEED ME TO ANSWER A QUESTION OR 2 DO NOT HESITATE TO

I too have had the dreaded squeak....turned out to be anti roll bar bushes and a loose anti roll bar!!

Has been sorted now, but still knocking - which is a joke after 5 attempts  My Gladiators:

RRS S/C HST - respect of the highest order
Freeloader 2 SE with all the toys - my baby RR

Disco3 - Gone
Defender 90 TD - Gone
FFRR Vogue - Gone
BMW X5 4.4 - Gone
LR Defender Tdi - Gone

I had the same on my old 07 model. Had some anti-roll-bar bushes made special with an internal diameter 0.004" smaller than standard- (tighter fit) I had them made with slots in the centre of the bush and filled them with vaseline to lubricate the anti-roll-bar as it moved sideways. Instant cure. It was a system I designed in 1983 on the early XR3i with the same problem.

Easy way to prove if it is that is slack the brackets off to release the bush and squirt some spray lube inbetween the bush and roll bar and try it. Because sometimes its the lower suspension arm rear bushes that squeak. You don't stop playing because you get old, You get old because you stop playing.

Finally booked in for a checkup of the squeaking which turned out to be worn front bushes, fixed under warranty!

No charge and good service from the dealer with regards to dropping off the car, being kept informed and pleasant service.

Just hope they last longer than 7000km's.[/u]

Glad it's sorted now

Trivett Classic In Sydney - must say the whole process was good from drop off at the valet style service department, straight on a shuttle bus back into the CBD and a quick wash and vac at the same time for collection. They were not the supplying dealer either as I had bought from a Melbourne dealer through a fleet buyer.
