Superspark,
I have in the past taken a short subscription to Topix, and used it to good effect at the dealer. They now know I know, and don't BS me as much.

Thanks everyone for your input.
I'm not trying to quieten it down temporarily. The key to this is that the refinement of the entire engine and drivetrain is definitely considerably less than every ... |

| Yes guys, a video does make sense. I need to do 2 - the car I'm comparing and mine. Can't do mine until it's back. There's some delay in it coming back today. I'll see about doing the loan car today. ... |

Thanks Jon and Super spark.
I'm not hopeful that I'll ever resolve it. I still think I've got a rogue one at the very limit of tolerances. I am going to try the battery suggestion, and hope!

| Yeah, I had thought about fuel being the issue, but it doesn't properly explain why it was like this from new, or why dealer's courtesy cars, which almost certainly won't have seen any v-power or simi ... |

Any thoughts on why my MY12 SD4 feels a little less "refined" than others I've driven recently?

Big Hammer - interesting note about 6th gear. My previous L-R, a 56 Disco 3 did that too. Weird or what 
My FL2 had me worried when I collected it new from the Stealer - 9mpg on the compute ... |
