If you can't replicate it reliably, how do you expect the dealer to? |

Yeah exactly. That’s why I am looking for ideas of what it could be to see if I can replicate if it’s a certain fault. Like if it’s fuel slap, what is the best way to replicate the fault |

Well firstly, not everything is a 'fault', sometimes vehicles have certain characteristics in the right (or wrong) circumstances - you also need to be careful of confirmation bias, that is, you or the internet have decided what the cause of the concern is and set about to prove it... down entirely the wrong rabbit hole.

If the car going up the hill involves a downshift, and/or extra acceleration on your part, it might need the gear change software update. Search for threads on that. The issue is that the gear does not come in quickly enough and when it does, the revs are higher and it sends a thud down the driveline. Mine had this and the software update cured it. Note the update is not something done on normal services, it is only for cars that thud on kickdown. There is, I think, a 'service bulletin' on the topic to which you could refer your dealer.

Well you live and learn. Mine does this very occasionally as I drive away from the end of my driveway or at roundabouts. I thought it was something loose in the boot FFRR SDV8 Autobiography |
