My disco has been making awful screetching noises about 50% of the time on start up. I have previously posted on this and got great advice.
It went back to Guildford under warranty and they replaced the starter motor despite me telling them what the advice on here was
All was OK for a week and then started happening again,
Took it to Southampton as much closer, They had it in for a day about a month ago and said it was still the starter motor so re booked it in as they didn't have one in stock.
It went in today for 2 days,
Just had a call from the service dept saying that they have replaced the starter motor but that isn't it.
Its something behind it that has teeth ( I am not technical) and some had been broken off, they need it for a week to repair, all warranty so no cost,
Should I be worried about another underlying problem?
I has been doing it 50% of the time on start up and occasionally on Stop/Start at lights etc and then I have to switch it off/on to get it to go - which is damn annoying D4 HSE - Aintree Green
D4 Orkney my13 - gone
Stornaway D4. Gone, Didn't like it at all
D3 silver manual. Loved my first LR

If it's missing teeth on the ring gear on the drive plate, that is quite concerning on such a new car....Stop /start doesn't help, but nevertheless, associated components should be beefed up to cope with that  ....Maybe not the starter motor, but the ring gear should last the life of the vehicle IMHO. 
The first thing I do with any vehicle with Stop/ Start in my household, is to switch it OFF.  But I should add, there is only one, my Son's BMW f21, which is just out of warranty.  D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner. New A/C Condenser.NO WARRANTY for many many years.

Switching it off while its under warranty is a big mistake, use it as often as possible while under warranty to make any weak components fail and switch it off when warranty has expired It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

I wouldn't just yet, get it sorted with a new ring gear and starter, and see how it is over the next year or so.

unusual for a starter ring to fail, obviously a manufacturing fault, they aren't particularly expensive, but labour charges are to fit one. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
