You mean a noise like a rattle?
Land Rovers have them built in as standard.

If you have a 'ratel', you could be in for some expensive surgery. They really don't like it when you disturb them.😂

England 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Zermatt Silver

Design feature.

I've had one on the front right dash, then after I booted it it moved to the front left. Then went up to the sunroof and now I have stereo as one has appeared in the boot area.

I have a technical solution I shall share - turn the volume knob on the radio Very Happy

p.s. you would expect the build quality on such a car to be better

I used to have an annoying light rattle on the passengers side in the first month of ownership ..... drove me crazy!
Ended up driving with a rubber tipped stick so I could prod the suspected bits.
Turned out it was the little round 'tweeter' speaker at door mirror level.
Bit of twiddling and all was sorted.
Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Obvious question but is the rattle there when you have a passenger? I had a slight rattle on passenger side which turned out to be the seatbelt clip vibrating against the side of the seat when it was unclipped Censored

Also had a rattle from the central dash speaker grill which took bloody ages to cure Big Cry . But I think rattles are a "feature" anyway............. FL No 1 - 2012 (MY2011) XS manual Firenze Red - Gone
