Wokka,

I was tempted to put a post in the spotted section but I think your patientce is probably running thin on the current issue.

So..................

"Spotted, RRS Java black with Chinook Display Team stickers on the rear..... any ideas!?"

Hope we sort it out swiftly for you, and I have been advised that it is a high priority to get rectified.

Too right Wokka. Some people forget that the dealers do their best at times but it is LR that design and build it.

I have the same probs. Second car since Feb 07. This one is 4 weeks old, and now 2 problems looming. diff noise on front, ( same reason the last one had a diff at same miles. ) Bang on the gearbox when it downshifts to 2nd.

Hi All,

......but I was wondering if anyone else had problems with the transmission? She has covered 5500 miles and whilst I dont hang around, I dont trash her to bits.

The noise sounds like the beginning of a bearing going.
Comments please.

Does it sound like that discussed in http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic2725.html?

I have this noise and it sh*ts me to tears! They have replaced my T case but it did not get rid of the problem. I have been told it is the chain drive in the transmission...it does not have a tensioner and when you back off you get chain rasp.  RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

mine also had the wine when it went in for its first service, found that the front diff had leaked all its oil out so replaced the diff, and noise went away. Just a shame I cant drive it now, the car is somewhat taken to bits to replace a turbo that has quit boosting............. boll**, no option to post a photo....body in air, chassis on floor. Not pritty..  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

Well mine is at long last with the stealers and they have said its the transmission box that is at fault so are ordering a new one - possibly up to a week for it to arrive

They have also said that the knock is from the front anti-roll bar so are ordering one of those at the same time.

Will report back as soon as I have any news.

Well what a complete f k up.

The dealer tell me they are going to replace the transmission box and then phone last night to say the RRS is ready to pick up. I go down today and ask what they had done to be told "they had replaced the oil and this had reduced the noise"

I asked why they had not replaced the box to be told that LR had asked to see a photo of the oil and as a result of it being black they should replace it and thats all LR would let them do

I then asked if the noise had gone to be told it was still there but not as loud, so I said I would not take the car back until the box was replaced as there was still a fault.

To be fair the dealer agreed with me but I now have to speak to LR as they can't do anything more What a complete load of b s, LR should be ashamed of the crap they dish out.

Next step is now to reject the vehicle as I am fed up of having a £55k car continually go wrong. "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

The noise will only have reduced because of the new oil and the fact that it probably hadn't heated up again fully when they tried it.Surely if the old oil was black, this in itself indicates that there is a problem (causing excessive heat build up) within the box, and LR should not ignore that fact,( I'm sure they all think we were born on 30/07/2008 ), keep the pressure on mate, and Good Luck.  RRS TDV8 Buck Blue (no, not now in my dreams). ..........D3 TDclankety clankV6 ............BMW 318i

Oh believe me when I explaind what you have said to the dealer, they were somewhat embarassed as clearly they just expected me to take the vehicle away

Either the oil was the incorrect type from new causing it to overheat, which in its self would cause damage to the box or the box has a fault causing the oil to go black

After my explaining the facts to them they agreed and even said that the techincian had said that he did not think it would cure the problem, which begs the question - why did they not go back to LR for further comment or are LR just begining to wake up to the fact that most of the newer RRS might have a transmission problem and are trying to fend off the issue  "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

Well things just get better and better or should that be worse and worse

LR have just called me and said they have given permission to replace the transfer box - not the transmission. Correct me if I am wrong but these are two seperate components aren't they with one being the actual gearbox and the other the transfer box

The stealer has now said that they replaced the oil in the transfer box and not the tranmission as they insisted yesterday

Is this some intervention from LR to replace the transfer box (a much cheaper item than the transmission) and not the transmission

I will be listening for any kind of noise when I get it back and making big noises at LR if there is a slight squeak  "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

I have the same noise most noticable at 2000rpm and in sport Mode. I had this noise since it was new!
They have change the Gear box, but the sound didn`t go away. It has been in and out of my dealer for 1,5 year
without them fixing it.
Now I have told them to take it back and LR Norway is now saying that this noise is standard for every RR Sport TDV6
If they keep that statment i will take them to court!
