Hi Everyone

I took delivery of my UK spec 3.0 Diesel Autobiography Range Rover L405 a week last Thursday and I have noticed that when the tank is full I can hear a lot of 'sloshing' of the fuel about the tank. If I break hard or set off from a standstill I can hear gulping coming from underneath the car. I know this is the fuel tanks because when the car is low on fuel it doesn't happen.

I have put my head under the car and there appear to be two large long plastic fuel tanks running underneath the passenger compartment - I wonder if there is a problem with the baffles in the tanks?

Has anyone else noticed this??

Thanks

Lonnie

This won't help much but first of all, welcome to the site!

I would be taking it straight back to the garage for anything you're unhappy about! Can't be a month old that can it?

Thanks... I have called them and they said to bring it down and let their mechanic listen to the noise, but I just wanted to see if anyone had the same thing - it could just be normal??

Have you seen the new Range Rover sport - I might have to swap!!

Mine does it as well , felt under the passenger seat at low speeds on almost full tank

will be fixed in MY18 cars ! Far to many gone...

And lo the foibles are starting to be discovered ...

Reminds me of the AA guy at the hotel last weekend.
Two L405 Range Rovers and a 2012 Sport.
Wipers on the sport had packed up as it'd burnt the motor out.

When I asked him what the problem was, he said "It's a Land Rover"

I think these will be good buys in a few years with niggles fixed and a whack of depreciation.

Nothing to complain so far, except for the lower tailgate that sometimes stops half way down! Problem identified and the pieces have been ordered!

Absolutely great car

Did you guys order the bigger bottle for £30 by any chance

If you leave it with me for a week or so I'll check it out and find out what the problem is. Make sure the tank's full.

i have a new vogue 3.0 and have noticed and annoying noise from the rear , now u say it it sounds exactly as u say and doing it more today and i have 3/4 tank so as u say sure its fuel related.
quite obvious when parking or moving slowly...
i will be interested to know what they say when u take it in , please keep us updated.
cheers

I think you may find there is now a recall check with your dealer Far to many gone...

I'm betting the issue is different on the SC and 4.4 as the fuel tanks are different Or just doesn't exist  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

Must admit haven't heard this from our new 3.0 but haven't yet done that many miles,or indeed refilled the fuel tank yet

Has anyone had a conversation about this issue yet with a dealer? if so, I would be interested to know what their position/opinion on the problem is?

My local has no details on any sort of recall.

which have you got l405 3.0 or V8 Far to many gone...
