Hi there, my husband and I are new to this forum and to owning a Land Rover - we think the forum is great, full of knowledge and experience and like minded people!

Yes, before you mentioned 'turning left' I was going to blame the heat shields underneath that can get knocked onto the drive shaft giving a metal to metal contact noise.

It doesn't sound too serious - something rubbing on something it shouldn't. I'd turn the steering to full lock (so you can see better into the wheel arches) and have a good look around the suspension and brakes, as well as generally underneath. Look for something which is out of place, or which has become trapped somewhere. Bits of wire, etc, picked up from the road can result in various noises like this. |

Hi thank you for your helpful replies, and for the warm welcome! My husband is about to take the wheel off and have a look! It would be great if we can resolve it without taking it back to the garage |

Everything looks as it should - took both front wheels off, no signs of anything catching or rubbing, so its off to the garage on Monday |

Well I was on a long journey home when it seemed to get quite bad, fearing the worst, I took it to the stealers as I did not have time to investigate it myself.

Whatīs the noise that you refer? I have a FREELANDER 2009 XS in Spain and one month ago, my dealer changed the right "gearing" ( I donīt know his name in English). Actully (1000 km more) I can hear the same noise when I turn at low speed. It sonds like thre or four CLACKS... Thank you all and sorry for my writing. |

Hello, the noise of ours can be found on this link http://youtu.be/WyxXgIYY4Ng - we still don't know what it is but it is going into the garage on Monday - it is more of a grinding/shimmery noise rather than clacking.

Could the backplate be rubbing the disc? |

Funny I used to have the same problem, albeit in another car. Since I got rid of the wife it stopped. |

I'd say "stone in the disc"! No doubt as I have had the same. I'd get it seen to asap before it causes damage to the disc. Good luck! |
