Squeaky Steering Wheel

Had my first service last week, no problems, had Freelander 2 for the day not bad almost seemed quicker than my RRS, think it was an illusion with having manual box and sitting a bit lower than usual....

Notice today my steering wheel sort of squeaks when turned slightly, it isn't the noise that bothers me just the feel of it through the steering wheel

Seems odd that I hadn't noticed it before my service, but what could they have done to cause a squeak Arrived - RRSport 2016 HSE SDV6 HSE

How do you mean 'adjusted' do you mean the rake up and down, I have tried adjusting that but makes no difference..

I think you maybe right, I took the car in a couple of weeks ago and they said the noise must be coming from the steering rack and were going to strip it down or something like that and would need it in for a day, haven't booked it in yet, perhaps I should take a copy of that report with me, where did you see the report and can I get a copy?

Its a Land Rover 'Technical Service Bulletin'.
Just refer them to the Number LTB00072... all dealers should have received one by now.

Hope it helps. Malaysia Boleh!
