Noise from Rear
Hi, my Discovery is about 18 months old and apart from a wiring problem on the suspension last year has been fine. Lately I have noticed a noise coming from the nearside rear when going over certain bumps.... there is a cobbled streets near my workplace which seems to be the worst..... I can only describe it as a clunking noise or a hollow noise which seems to be coming from the wheel or suspension area. I have looked underneath and checked the wheel out and all seems okay.
Suggestions?Discovery 3 Metropolis
TDV6
Java Black
Audi TT Roadster 225

Anti Roll Bar?
Possible wheel bearing - but you'd get that all the time i guess....
Drive shaft/bearing.....
harmonic damper?

Check the large weights behind the bumper first, see if they are hitting something.“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Mine's in on Monday for this - will let you know. Am sure it's the rear ARB bushes - as it sounds just like when the front ones went. John2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

They are the things the anti roll bar run through so they don't fall off
A bracket lines with a rubber bush essentially.

Have you checked the 3rd row seats? I had a similar rumbling rattle going over bumbs and I eventually traced it to loose hinge mechanisms on the back rows seats when stowed. Someone else on here has some ingenous photos showing a quick fix using pieces of rubber floor mat to repalce the worn gaskets. However, i complained to my stealer and they produced a whole new seat base under warranty. Worth a wee look.

2nd row seat base catches can also foul the third row rubber floor mat too and cause a rattle.
But only if you have this fitted of course

Just got my MOT done a week past Fri - passed no probs - cos I let my LR dealer do it.
Well, it's got to pass then hasn't it?
But I got an advisory notice that the bushes would need doing - not bad for first set at 95k
And yes, I do get a clunking over rough stuff.🏴

Weights at rear
I had a noise that I traced to a loose spare wheel! What exactly is the purpose of those big weights and why are they free to swing? Is it something to do with resonance in the chassis?AJ
