If any of you want to speak to VOSA. Then the department is the Vehicle Recall Safety Dept on 01179543254.

I've not spoken to them as yet. I've decided to wait for some hard facts from LR, preferably in writing as up to now the hearsay is a little confusing  MY08 RRS TDV8 HSE, Stornoway Grey, Ebony and Zabrano, sunroof, hybrid tv, premium ICE, rear E diff, privacy glass, side steps, mud flaps, S/Grey mirror covers, Venture shield,tasmods, smoked indicators, Larini sports exhaust, etc, etc.

Will,

Has your dealer tried these remedies..??

Well guys and gals.......it has cometh the day.....as they said many moons ago

Tomorrow is D-day for my little red bit*h and she is being suitably spanked and caressed in {hopefully} all the right places as to eradicate the unacceptable and ridiculous knockety knock noise

Eyes down, no pressure, but we're all counting on you "local LR dealer" .....I know you will be reading this

Will provide a comprehensive update tomorrow




......within 10 seconds of being in the car, I will either be OR (and I hope not) and  My Gladiators:

RRS S/C HST - Buy a Lada Riva instead - the knocking noises still continue - HOLD your HEADS IN SHAME LAND ROVER

Freeloader 2 SE with all the toys - my baby RR
Merc SL55 AMG - Tarmac ripper!

Disco3 - Gone
Defender 90 TD - Gone
FFRR Vogue - Gone
BMW X5 4.4 - Gone
LR Defender 300Tdi - Gone
LR Defender 2.5 PETROL - Gone

The fix is done


and for the time being, that is all I am going to say

















I will update when the test time has lapsed, currently been asked to run for 2-3 weeks.  My Gladiators:

RRS S/C HST - Buy a Lada Riva instead - the knocking noises still continue - HOLD your HEADS IN SHAME LAND ROVER

Will god luck .
Otherwise I had today my first service and I also mentioned them that I had a problem with knocking and you know what was their answer when I picked up my car in the afternoon that there is no bulletin about that problem from LR and because of that it is not a warranty issue and also that it is a characteristic of the DR system (..and I am a F ing ). I told them that it is a bit strange that that characteristic was not there when I bought a car 2008 RRS TDV8 HSE, Java black, Alpaca,.....

Fingers crossed

LR would you kindly hurry up and communicate this to your Dealers  MY08 RRS TDV8 HSE, Stornoway Grey, Ebony and Zabrano, sunroof, hybrid tv, premium ICE, rear E diff, privacy glass, side steps, mud flaps, S/Grey mirror covers, Venture shield,tasmods, smoked indicators, Larini sports exhaust, etc, etc.

I have just had sight of a TSB issued on 20 October for this subject. Sorry didn't get the number. But it applies to the RRS and the D3.

Basically it involves Stage (1) 1 1/2 hour of tests followed by the ordering of a shim packing kit.
Then Stage (2) the kit will be fitted at a later date. I'm booked in next week for stage (1).

Likely to be a big que of orders. Hope I don't have to wait too long. Apparently I'm 3rd in the que at my Dealer.

Bobby, any chance you can locate the TSB

So fingers crossed.  MY08 RRS TDV8 HSE, Stornoway Grey, Ebony and Zabrano, sunroof, hybrid tv, premium ICE, rear E diff, privacy glass, side steps, mud flaps, S/Grey mirror covers, Venture shield,tasmods, smoked indicators, Larini sports exhaust, etc, etc.

Josh, I think there is a new bulletin on "Front Suspension Knock Diagnosis".

Angel, most probably its "LTB00123v2". Malaysia Boleh!

As always nice work Bobby.  I want a G55 AMG !!

Having read the remarks from other members, my sport which is only six months old was taken into Guy Salmon Sheffield today due to the knocking suspension. Having requested the patch file and bushes. They have come back to say that the Patch file 3 does not do anything to rectify the dynamic response and that my bushes are in order. They have registered a report for me with LR who advised them again today it is just a general characteristic of the vehicle. They have had numerous complaints from customers over the same issue. I am proposing to write to Land Rover placing them on notice of my intention to refer the matter to Top Gear and Watchdog if they are not prepared to rectify the faults.

I am more than happy to add any one else on to my letter. So if any of you wish to register your backing over this issue please let me know

To my fellow frustrated colleagues, some possible light at the end of one tunnel. I had a long chat today with Fred, from Trivett Land Rover in Sydney. Let me outline that I have the "knocking" problem that comes from bushes/ball joints etc, NOT the one from the DR system. It is important to deliniate the 2 as some of us might have been trying to solve one problem with the wrong solution. Anyway, he told me that for my "knocking" LR have now released a "fix" and a part number for the bits needed. The bits consist of new "wet" ball joints and lower contol arms. No date for parts arrival yet...I'll keep you posted. I'll be glad to get this fixed as it is not good form for a $100K car to sound like the front end is falling out over the most minor bumps in the road!! 2006 Black/Alpaca, Hi Ice, Dynamic Pack, 19" wheels, Clear Pack...
