Probably is just the bushes etc stretching into the extended position as it's rarely set that high.
In dry weather, rubber bushes dry out. You can temporarily quieten them down with various sprays bu ... |

The huge benefit of the scheme I was on was that it covered all insurance, tax, servicing, tyres etc. which essentially eliminated the main risks / worries of buying LR products (insurance and relia ... |

Nightmare - gutted for you.
I had the same quandary - nothing else spoke to me the same way the RRS did - though as I'm self employed, salary sacrifice wasn't an option so I plumped for a used 494.

I'm confused. Mine is the same cream colour as my dashboard. I thought everyone's wheel was colour-matched to the dash.
The fact that LR don't have a matching one implies there's some additional cust ... |

Sounds like a pump of some kind.
Don't know much about EVs but don't they have cooling/heating for the battery/motor? Will have an electric pump of some form.
Equally, if my diesel did that I'd ass ... |

So first step is the scariest, access.
Open the roof, get your fingers under the panel and tug up hard. It comes off pretty easy really. Once started, just work your way to the back. I found closing ... |

As discussed earlier - the sunroof drains on the 405 and 494 have a well known nasty habit of rotting out.
Mine is 4 years old so expected it all to be tip-top in there but no, got in there with a c ... |

I think so.
I bought some similar ones from eBay. My only hesitation on those is the shape of the head which I’m not sure will be so easy to seal but I imagine I’m overthinking it. |

There's some brilliant ways for fixing it. Those brass fittings would be my first choice if I had a snapped drain.
The focus of my post is slightly different though.
Fixing once it's gone is likel ... |

I've been out to have a proper look at mine.
There's no visibility at all, with just the roof open and looking at the trims, I'm not convinced I'd want to mess with the one that covers the drain unl ... |

+1 on that question.
From what I can see, there are 2 trims side by side.
The first outer one is what you remove to fit roof rails - there's a powerful-uk video showing pulling those off but the inn ... |
