I never got to the bottom of this... It comes and goes though. Some journeys it's pretty silent but others (longer ones) it ticks away in my ear like a torture instrument!

As promised, after 120 miles or so, no more ticking. In my book, its fixed
See photos for location of two dinks made with a hammer and screwdriver in two small openings in the b pillar, just below the lower seat belt mount, passenger side
There may be other ways of doing this, but its worked.
Also a photo of more clips that I need - think I have found them on line

Since getting the D4 I've had an annoying light rattling that seemed to be coming from all around the car.
Today I found the cause ...... it was my small tin of mints I keep in the cubby box tray !!!!
Mints now all gone ...... rattles now all gone!

Fantastic... I'll give it a go! So you literally just slotted a screwdriver into those holes and then bashed it with a hammer to push the metal back from it? Worth a go!

I get an annoying whine coming from the passenger seat area. Strangely, it's only when I have the wife in the car. Kev

Hi - is this fix still working? I’ve just bought a December 2015 Disco and I reckon I have exactly this issue. It’s annoying because it comes and goes, and a few well placed taps with a rubber hammer along the edges of the driver side (am LHD here so I get the ticking right in my ear!) door next to the B Pillar under seals seems to remove the ticking for a while before it returns. Just wondered if it’s worth getting LR to do the Nov/Dec 2015 TSB fix around the seatbelt mount (if I can get them to agree that is the issue - most other people can’t even hear it!) or whether I have a go at your hammer and screwdriver trick. Just that it seems quite difficult to pull off the trim on the B pillar in order to get a screwdriver positioned correctly. Worried I won’t be able to get it back on! Thanks for any advice....
