HI All,
Had my metropolis for just over a week now and covered almost 1300 miles, it is fantastic---but, last night on the way home from Lincoln I kept hearing a "trim" type gentle clunk everytime the road surface had any variance, on much closer inspection it appears to be the where the rear sun roof lining meets the glass, when gently touched by hand replicates the noise heard by driving.
By closing the sun blind improves things slightly but it is still there generally.
Sorry to be long winded but has anyone any idea's?
Thanks. Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

I had this and LR stated it was coming from the plastic around the seat belt housing. Not quite sure how as I could hear it in the same place you are describing. Still unresolved and the car has been sitting on my drive for 9 days now waiting for LR to return my money and come and get it.

Hope LR solve your problem.

Hi Ben
Thanks for the info, yes it would appear to be the same, not something I cannot live with but then it is more annoying than anything else, havn't been to the dealer yet and will investigate further myself, could be that it is a clip not pushed in far enough-we'll see.
So, are you getting a replacement for your motor of horrors? or are you changing manufacturers altogether.
once again thanks Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

OK, Had a good look and feel, the headlining behind the second sunroof is deffo the culprit here even a simple touch makes strange noises
am going to have to go to dealer for further investigation.
In my simple mind(!) I am thinking that double sided pads would hole it more firmly and prevent the irritating clunks
any further advice would of course be much appreciated
Would have a go dropping the headlining myself but there are side airbags involved!!!! so best not to.
Thanks. Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!

Hi All,
Update re rattle.
called in today at Guy salmon in Knutsford, asked on the off chance as I was passing if they could have a look for a see if a simple fix was possible, 15 minutes later I am back on the road, rattle GONE, it was the rear light cluster that was causing the problem, where the holder meets the roof lining it had not been attached properly at the factory and combined with the weight of the light cluster itself was causing the rattle,
simply re fitting holder and as belt and braces adding some soundproofing material between light holder/Cluster and roof it is now very quiet.
It is like having a new car again, honestly.
cannot recommend Guy salmon in Knutsford enough- that's where I will be taking the beast for service.  Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh!
