Range Rover Sport SV

Any owners on here? I’m trying to work out if my suspension noise is a characteristic of the car, or an issue

Some research suggests there are some issues (US), but my experience with two main dealerships has been disappointing to say the least.

I have one, is it a bit of a thump from the rear, which is a bit louder than to be expected that particular bump in the road.

I also notice the carbon ceramics have an odd characteristic, a feeling of not amount of modulation can avoid them grabbing, which causes havoc with adaptive cruise

Have you seen this?

I have exactly the same problem, did replacing the shock absorbers help?

After reading a thread on range rovers.net, It would appear replacing the dampers have made little to no difference…

I wouldn’t describe it as a “popping noise”, more like a loud thud. I took a technician out in it and he agreed it didn’t sound right

However, they said that there is no current solution

I have a new SV
I have complains to the dealer and asked if I can return the car for a full refund.
It only has 400 miles on the clock, but I am fed up with the knocking sound or (popping sound) as JLR call it. They tell me it is not a fault but a characteristic of this model.
They even got another SV in on loan from Solihull to take me out in, to prove it was a characteristic of the model.
I don’t think when you spend £170,000 + on a car that you should have to put up with this knocking. They should advise you of this known problem before you buy the car.
Still trying to get them to take the car back and refund my money, but doesn’t look promising at the moment!

Wait until you get to 10k then….

Exhaust rattles
Door card rattles
Coolant fault
Speaker failed

I’m sure there are some things I forgot about,

Oh and it’s sounds like a Nova riding on the bump stops.

But it does go like stink and looks better than any other SUV
