Hi all, been in land rovers ever since i started driving, and recently made the jump from a dsco 4 to a sdv8.

i have 2 questions, one is i have a rattle i can here in the cabin, thats annoying, is from the engine, and only under acceleration, its subtle but annoying. also can be heard louder under the car.

second and more worrying is a creak/bang when mannovering at slow speeds of pulling from a roundabout etc. sounds like something is binding, then letting go?

do the rear brakes ever bind on these? or prop shaft issues?
could be bushes but would be a bit odd when it happens for that.
other thoughts is gear box but doesnt seem to be when gears change

Any help would be muchly appreciated
Thanks
Tom

the rattle could be a loose exhaust shield.. ... - .- -.

Could well be the shield under the gearbox. Mine is making this noise so I'll be looking at this fix shortly.

It is fairly common for the rear callipers to seize, just see if the wheel is hot after a trip, be careful it could be very hot...  Pete

Binding could be the transfer case needing oil replaced and recalibrated … it can bind and release on sharp corners due to the different wheel rates when cornering. Noticeable on things like pulling moderately out of a junction when on a sharp steering angle.

Binding callipers are more likely to show when pulling away from standing still or coming to a stop. They’ll release with a thud, but less likely to make sounds when moving around a roundabout. V8 or else ...

Oops double post V8 or else ...

The bang at low speed manoeuvring could the front lower control arm bush. Tends to happen more when going lock to lock, braking while turning like lining up for a driveway etc. Cam
