KNOCKING SOUND ON RANGE ROVER SPORT V8 SUPPER CHARGE

I HAVE THE SAME F..... NOISE FROM MY SPORT SUPPER CHARGE ITS BACK TO THE F..... DEALER 3X IM OF! - THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO DROP OUT HAS ANYONE HAD A RESULT WITH THIS AND WHAT CAN ANYONE RECOMEND I DO BAR ROLL IT OF BEACHY HEAD!!

It could be the pully on the charger itself. I understand early cars suffered but this was a screach as opposed to a knock. I assume it is engine speed related as opposed to road speed.

It would be interesting to know if they can take the charger belt off and eliminate the charger. Not sure if the engine would run properly though? TDV8 HSE in Java/Ebony with Zebrano Wood, RSE, Hybrid TV, and a few other bells and whistles.

dont shout at us

Is the noise coming from the engine or from the suspension? BTW it's a SUPERcharged, not a Supper Charge which is something totally different  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Yes I think so it sounds like it does

I've edited this topic title so it should attract more attention than the original one.

Please don't start another batch of new topics asking the same question again - be patient, remember we're all enthusiasts and will help when we can, but weekends are busy times  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

I forgot to mention that that my model is a 1st eddition v8 suppercharged if this makes any diff - I am shattered with the dealers comments that this is normal how can it be - I have had the car back 3x and on the last visit to the doctor the tow truck arrived the driver mentioned that he picks up NO LESS THAN 10 A WEEK!!!!!!!!! nice in it - Shorley thios needs addressing Now why is this not a re-call?

Goto topic:

SUSPENSION PROBLEM - SOUNDS LIKE U/S SHOCK ABSORBER

read it all and carry on posting your problem there if you have further questions or experiences - and quietly.

Homeins, can appreciate you frustration over this problem but PLEASE there isn't any need to add the same post to 3-4 sections of the forum all at once. Suggest you stick them in the technical or modifcations sections. The more often you post the same item the less likely anybody will even look at them, let alone read them and it also gives the admin loads of work sorting them out.
FYG the suspension problem has been covered several times - I recommend you take a read at The Doc's recent posts there regarding suspension clunks and the cure, which your dealer may need "educating" about.

Any idea what I can do - I may get thhe aa the carry out a full inspection wat do you all think - I am off as the car looks the dogs but it drives like a bag of !

The key is to be patient and work with the dealer to fix the problem. Gather as much information as you can, then go back with printouts etc etc showing that it is a known problem and that it isn't how it should be.

We're here to help but we might not necessarily have the exact answer straight away, and it doesn't help to keep asking the same thing over and over again. Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!
