I have an SD4, yes it whistles, however, the only time I can hear it is on underground car parks, never heard it on the road with windows up or down.

Well I have had the beast for just over two weeks now and must say there is not much difference to the old one.

Check the bolt holding the air pipe behind the passenger indicator, few have found the bolt to be loose and causing a rattle Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

I am hoping a software update/re-programme will sort the gearbox out, I will post the result as soon as it,s done. |

Took it into Stratstones, woodford yesterday. They refitted and tightened the fixings on the neaside airvent, seemd ok on the way home so I will wait until I have given it a good test. They road tested it and said they couldn't find any fault with the gearbox, so again I will wait and see. They gave me a 59 plate Discovery as a courtesey car, have to say the gearbox was seemless, but I believe that was a ZF box. If I am still not happy with the gearbox I may push for a re-programme and see if that sorts things out. |

Thats exactly the same as mine, only does it on a light throttle on over run. Unfortunately after driving it today the noise from the dashboard is worse than before. hopefully that will give them a big clue where the problem is. mending it may be another matter. Spookily after getting it back the fuel consumption seems worse, with the average MPG figure diving down as you drive along, at a steady 40 it seems to struggle to show 33. |

tried to book it back into Stratstone woodford but cannot get a loan car until 13th January, so I have booked it into Lookers, Bishops Stortford, this friday. Hopefully they will be able to sort it out. Having stuck my arm up behind the dashboard the noise seems to be coming from the airvent pipes moving. |

Took the car to Lookers, Bishops Stortford and a very nice technician came out for a drive, heard the noise and asked me what my expectations were, when I said it would be mended and I would pick it up this afternoon he explained that they would need it for up to three days. he explained tracing the noise may require the dashboard to come out, 1 day, another day to obtain any parts needed, and a third day to put it back together.

re fuel consuption re set the trip meter and you will find consumption better i have noticed on mine if its been in and had a software update if you dont reset the trip/computer via the stalk. or button on clocks it will continue to show 33ish mpg if you re set should be ok then rainy-city
