Sadly it does vary within the NHS, so lucky the care is good where she is and we wish her a speedy recovery.

Thanks for checking MM, it seems I do have an extra warning/reminder but as mine is booked in next Friday for its service, no worries. |

Has anyone else managed to get their turbo whistle fixed. I tried at my 1st service with Stratsones but they still don't recognise the fault continuing to say it is a characteristic of the vehicle even after telling then about the steering column seal solution. Frustrating! And now to top it off my DOF sensor has started to play up.

Mine has been in today for further investigation having previously had the steering column seal replaced with only a slight improvement. Dealer has been very helpful but land rover technical are now adamant that it is characteristic of the larger turbo of the sd4. |

The steering wheel seal did help a bit, but not completely cured. The service centre I have been using has been very helpful (certainly compared to supplying dealer) and have done a lot of work to try and find a solution. The technician test drove my car back to back with an evoque and claims little difference. I'm not going to worry about it any more. Come to the conclusion that I'm maybe being a bit fussy. After all I have had cars in the past with much worse turbo whistle but actually liked the sound - these being sporty cars it suited them. |

Really enjoying the disco 4 - biggest difference I notice is with the auto box. Silky smooth in the disco when compared to my SD4. More than happy to give the disco back providing all issues with mine are resolved. |

You need to ensure that LR part number LR030346 has been used for RHD cars. It's all in the latest parts catalouge. It might be though that the your garage has just used the part for the chaiis number but the latest version of microcat seems to correct it. Use the number above and it seems to cure the problem..........well it has in my dealership anyway.

MC 51MUN, no I haven't yet got to the bottom of the twang. TVLR tried to fix it when Lloyd had the steering column seal replaced (for the second time as the first part ordered was unfortnately the same as the original one!)

If the twang you are referring to happens once only when you pull away for the first time, it is normal. Mine does it every time and a couple of the dealers cars also did it when I tried them. Wouldn't worry about it. |

I too have the twang, each and every time the car is started and moved.
