Hmm.

Noise under power from the back.....

Diff bearing....

Did they put any oil in it??😡 There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I’ve just had the diff pinion seal replaced under warranty because it was leaking. Will keep my ears tuned for this noise!

Dropped it off at MD this afternoon... good question NMJ... thought it important to take Stan’s advice and eliminate obvious causes before throwing the car at the mercy of the MD... still 3 hours of life that’s not coming back thanks to pfaffing around jacking wheels up, spinning them round, then taking them off and trying to eliminate causes... hey ho at least they got a good clean to the back of the inner rims... praying the MD doesn’t say they can’t find anything... or that they have found something and it’s not covered under the LR Extended Warranty

Just had the health check video. LR technician says it needs a new rear diff. Waiting to find out if it’s covered under LR Extended Warranty...

I also reported a knocking sound from the front near side suspension. They’re saying it needs a new shock absorber. Likewise, waiting to see if that’s LR Extended Warranty covered.

blimey, i bet you didnt expect that.... ... - .- -.

Best practice to replace both shockers at the same time...... or maybe they will only suggest that if you are paying.... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I did expect it Stan tbh. Having had back to back RRs for a fair few years now you do get familiar with those expensive sounding “what’s that?” noises. Although, usually turn to the forum first to seek views of trusted forum members in the hope of eliminating obvious simple things first.

It’s all covered under warranty. Only renewed the warranty on 4th August so it’s paid for itself one week in.

Tbh, people make lots of adverse comment about the LR warranty but it’s never failed us and has saved thousands over the years. It’s a lot at £146/ month but worth every penny based on this trip alone.

@mjd... I’m meticulous about my cars but won’t be offering to replace the other side at my own expense, not whilst there’s a warranty covering parts like this 👍🏻

mJD is correct, however I Wouldn’t worry too much, they did just the one on my 322 and it was absolutely fine!

I doubt it needs a completely new diff but I also doubt the techs have the ability
To diagnose the failed bearing....

A tranny company could do it no probs but as it’s under warranty it’s not worth worrying about. New diff. job done. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
