My SC suffered from a squeak on startup, which was rectified under warranty by replacing the main drive belt pulley.

Hi I've got a supercharged if that helps. My cars a 2006 so it'll be out of warranty.

FYI my SC is also a 2006, the warranty is the approved used warrenty that comes with a main dealer supplied car.

Hi I bought my vehicle privately although it's been looked after from a maim dealer from new it won't have any warranty I don't think? Any idea the cost of the parts? |

Its a common issue but the squeak normally disappears after warm up. Not sure if leaving it will lead to mechanical failure? |

Yeh that's right after warmup the engine squeak disappears. |

The paperwork shows less than £50 all in for the parts, but that may be discounted as the LR warranty picked up the bill. Gone - Range Rover Supercharged 2006 |

Had exactly the same problem on my 2006 SC, although in my case they diagnosed a faulty belt which was replaced (not under the LR warranty sadly)... I thought it would be the pulley and was sceptical a new belt would fix it, but the noise has certainly gone - along with a clutch of notes from my wallet Range Rover TDV8 Vogue SE |
