Creaks from the rear

I have been trying to track down a strange kind of clicking/creaking noise at the back left of the car. Seems to be coming from below the rear speaker. Has anyone had similar issues? thanks

Yep, been living with that one for over a year now. Dealer has had a couple of attempts to fix, without success. I'm convinced it is related to the luggage cover, it is very much reduced (some times goes away completely) if I travel with the cover taken out, though this is inconvenient because I have to put it back in place everytime I leave the car (for security of boot contents) I'm hoping this noise will be cured by a new car (not a LR) in just over twelve months!!!

Sorry to sound negative but given up with LR ..... Too many niggles for a supposed premium brand, maybe Tata will do a better job.

Me feels that way too. For the price of the FL2 I could have bought a Jeep with the same spec and save 6 grand Shocked

Will shop around next time and give LR a miss. ______________________

I have come from a Nissan xtrail through a Merc C200K (owned for 2 months) and all of them creaked in some way - the saving grace with LR is that it is really fun to drive!!!!!!

May look at Nissan again in the future as I like the Pathfinder (and you cant fault the extras you get for your money) but LR has my business for at least a couple more years!!!!


While I am posting this though - Does anyone know why I get a funny noise at around 70 mph from around the engine area? Its like a little rattle but only at 70-80mph.

Also I have a high pitched noise from the engine area when I pull up on the drive and turn the engine off. It lasts for around 5 mins then shuts off.

Not asked the dealer yet but if anyone knows what these noises are I can accept those ones as well!!

Very Happy

To the best of my knowledge, the high pitched whine from the front when you stop the car is something to do with the turbo having oil/coolant pumped around it and goes off after a minute or so.

Obviously someone will correct me if I'm wrong Embarassed ______________________

I had the creaks from the back - much more pronounced when driving slowly over bumps (surely not a common occurance for a 4x4 Exclamation ). The dealer recognised it as a known issue and fixed the problem.

Maybe I've just been lucky!

There is a service bulletin(creaking/clicking in rear) out for this, hopefully it will do the trick as the noise is driving me bonkers Twisted Evil

Re:creaks or clunks from rear

Something similar with mine,

Go over many speed humps,hit bumps and hear nothing,

Then out of the blue hear something hitting a bump going around a corner or from driveway to rd.

Overall not to bad but will get it looked into next service to prevent it getting worst if thats the case.
