On a previous car, the body mount anti roll bar bushes were at fault. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Still can't locate this god damn squeek! I've tightened the nut behind the side repeater, removed the splashield in the wheelarch and checked all in there, sprayed all bushes etc underneath with wd40, removed glovebox and checked all in there, checked battery and airbox assembly - everything on that side of the engine bay.

I had problems with the trim around the base of the A pillar, I'm sure there is a tech Bullitin for it. It's two bits of trim that rub toghether when expending/contracting due to temperature. My dealer fixed mine in minutes by sticking a screw driver in and making a bigger gap, crude, but after spending a year listening to it I was glad of any fix.

sure it's not the spring or strut? Not LR specific but it is very common and just needs a spring c/o. |

Right guys, I looked up the info provided on the inner sill sections rubbing (thanks for that) however I did the fix with the screwdriver and it's not that either!

I had a service at the weekend at a dealer and asked them about the squeaking ( same as yours ).

Thanks, that may be worth a look, I've been trawling the net looking into this and one thing that does keep coming up is suspension top mountings, apparently a metal and rubber mounting plate that sits in between the strut and the suspension mounting point on the body.

Not on the landy, but I changed this on one of my other cars last week. Took the mounting cap out and found most of the bearings had emigrated somewhere |

Had the car looked at by the garage this afternoon and it seems to be the front upper subframe mounts / bushes. When we were rocking the wheel to make the noise it could clearly be heard right up the front almost behind the headlight washer in the bumper, which apparently is where the mount is behind it. They're ordering in these bushes and fitting on Tuesday so hopefully this will be solved for good! |

I noticed an "anti squeak" bulletin on TOPIx the other day. Don't know if it would apply? Might be worth checking. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
