based on what you say it sounds like CV joints, agree with Deanc, if you apply the break lighty should be able to tell if its pads or the CV joints. Also if its CV joints that a lot more expensive repair then brake pads. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

If the brake pads are rattling, then you have a problem. There should be a slight contact constantly with the disks. IMHO, your stealer is talking bolleaux

I have since picked that car up from the dealer and they confirmed it was the brake pads rattling after checking out the front end. The car has stopped making the noise (for the moment). The brakes also seem more responsive since the checkup.

I have the same issue. There is a constant distinct clicking noise when turning (especially noticeable in underground carparks where is quiet and the noise is reflected from walls) . It is also very noticeable after the car has been driven for a while and again only when turning.

Mine started to make the noise again after a week and has gotten progressively worse. The dealer has been unable to fix it. As the warranty runs out soon I have decided to trade the car before it costs me. Hopefully I will pick up the new car next week - Range Rover Sport TDV6.

If it's been confirmed as the pads, then it sounds like the caliper pistons are sticking. This would explain the re-occurance as well. We Don't Care About Pot Holes !! |

Having a bit of a flap about this exact same issue.

CV joints are very resilient. In almost 40 years of owning front wheel drive cars, most with high mileage, i've never had to replace a joint. Lots of boots though!! If the boot isn't torn, then the CV should be fine. It's either pads or bearings.

After finally having enough of the click-clicking noise when turning hard left or right (or even medium left or right now for me), I took the car to LR. They had one of their mechanics come for test drive.

I could hear this clicking noise when the odometer was at around 30000km. Now it’s over 40000km and I can’t hear it anymore! Also note that the brake pads are still the original. I never believed that this noise had anything to do with them anyway. |

PS: 3rd party front brake pads = $59. Land Rover genuine = $259 and they wanted to charge labour by the hour. 1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame. |

Just to follow up with this. The new pads don't seem to have fixed the problem. I am pretty sure I have heard the same noise recently but since I haven't been in an underground car park, it isn't as obvious.
