Bang

Biggish bang from back of car tonight on acceleration. Hopefully just something from road hitting it since no messages about reduced traction etc. Time will tell , but still in warranty!

Hopefully... Drives as normal and no messages so must've been something kicked up. It was loud though

Check the ride height as it may be a broken Spring, I broke a spring moving in the drive.

Springs are fine... It's not 3 years old yet and I've had it since new...fairly easy life.

Do you still have drive to the rear? I had similar and it was a broken driveshaft (inside the diff) and there was no message or external sign, just a faint rattle on the overrun. Dealer that rebuilt the diff reckoned they'd not assembled it correctly.

No difference in drive or anything. 3rd service soon so will see what they say. If a problem-warranty, but I would have expected it to drive differently..on acceleration etc

I did not see any difference in normal driving, just a tendency to spin a front wheel on a sharp take off in the wet, which should not normally happen. Should be able to check on service.

Will ask them specifically to check rear drive then when I book it in in a few weeks..not sure if that's a normal check on a service

Booked in for next month... but there was the suggestion of a £95 investigation charge to look !! Its still in Warranty for gods sake and surely they should check such things on a service !!
Maybe I'm expecting too much !

You can check the rear drive yourself. Just find a muddy field and put your boot down. Razz MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Is it being serviced at the place where you bought it? I always go to the dealer that I bought the car from for servicing and have had numerous problems investigated without a charge. As it's under warranty you could call out LR Assist and say that there was a big bang at the back end and you are worried about driving it. I have had them out a few times and very helpful. If they find a problem they will book it in and arrange a courtesy car, 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Yep.. Never been anywhere else so am a loyal customer! I personally think it's fine as I'm sure I would notice something. Maybe the bang was something moving inside the car. It was 2 weeks ago now. Never called lr assist before. I'll think about it
