38k miles and a front wheel bearing is currently being replaced at local JLR service centre.

Wheel bearings needing replaced at ridiculously early intervals have been a feature of my previous JLR ownerships. One of which I still have and it’s had all four wheel bearings replaced twice in 6 years and 92k miles.

My largely impervious RR has left me feeling a little disappointed today. I’d hoped JLR may have finally sourced a better wheel bearing supplier with the L460.

I don't wish to cast aspersions but maybe it's your driving style.....  Pete

Back in the day I was warned not to use pressure washers on my motorcycle as the dealership in Aberdeen had various customers that had used pressure washers suitable for blasting barnacles off fishing boats to clean their motorcycles, and the pressure had been too much for the bearing seals.

Could it be that pressure washing is a factor even allowing for the fact that normal pressure washers run on much lower pressure than the boat ones?

I have never had a wheel bearing problem in almost 35 years of RR ownership (including one over 90,000 miles) and have not heard of them being a weakness, so it is odd that you have had such bad luck over several models. I do sympathise though, it must be very annoying, especially on such a new and expensive car. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Happy to provide an update!

It was not the wheel bearing as previously confirmed by the service centre but something far more benign.

The wheel bearing is in this instance, sound.

We don’t pressure wash nor do we drive in any unusual style that would cause bearings to deteriorate or wear excessively.
