Just joined forum.

I bought the wife an HST TDV8 back in the spring of 08 and since then she has been running it.
I had a chance to use it the other week back and couldnt beleive the state of the ride quality. It sounds like the car is travelling losely attached to the chassis. Knock and clunks.
I presume this is the same thing that you guys are talking about.
I will contact garage and see what luck I have with them.
Happy to contribute where I can!
I will update as to how the garage approach it.
Cheers

Good luck TurboS

Your welcome to join in on the proposed protest, although TBH the numbers are little pathetic at the moment. To make any stance against LR or to at least see strength through numbers, we will need slightly more than 16 people

With the number of TDV8's out there now, its only a matter of time before these guys get the same problem, unfortunately that may be a little too late to achieve any major leverage. If the issue is to be resolved before we all fall out of warranty or through sheer frustration jump ship, then we need to get the numbers up pronto.

A little bit of pro-activeness goes a long long way in these battles.

I would suspect at this stage that we will not gain the coverage of numbers required, which in all honesty, is a BIG shame considering the severity of the issue.

As much as I love the RRS, this issue for me has signalled the death nell for me spending more of my cash on an abortion of a suspension setup. As much as it grinds me - I WANT to buy British, but the German cars are looking tastier by the second..........hhhhhhhhheeeeeeelllppppppppppppppppp.  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

16 is plenty - you'll still get news attention etc if you block their gates.....

Hi

Im sure the problems ive read are more than just this, I have a 57 plate TDV6 and took it in for its 1st service yesterday and mentioned the knocking on the front end, they said "ah the anti roll bar bushes wear prematurely on these" and changed them out, the knocking has stopped, but I have noticed the car seems to be riding a little higher in the normal driving mode, have they put more pressure in the air system or something?

cheers

Must admit that since mine was serviced in October and I asked CHPR to look into it, I'm sure they fitted new bushes and so far it hasn't rattled, knocked, hissed or suffered hydraulic oil hammer.......................... I'll see if I can find the service bill and report to see what was done. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I have had mine TDV8 only couple of months and had so far 'only' other issues (bloody DPF ) and nothing with a knocking suspension but please count me in for the protest...
It is absolutely unacceptable to get such problems on a premium car as the RRS.
