Further to my previous thread on here and 3 trips to a main dealer my car a Freelander 2 TD4 XS (2012) is still making a strange noise.
The noise seems to be coming from the front and sounds like a creaking type of sound that resonates mostly at 50-60 mph but can be heard faintly as low as 30 mph. It does not sound like engine wind or tyre noise.
The noise can sound like a faint knocking sort of noise that is of constant rate i.e. it doesn't change in pitch with engine revs or road speed.
It doesn't sound like a mechanical sort of noise but more like a noise that is more apparent as wind velocity increases with speed.
I have checked around and underneath the car for loose bodywork and fixings and secured a door seal and reshaped the fuel tank heat shield but I could not find anything obviously loose.
My local main dealer has changed all four wheels and tyres; secured pipes with cable ties; replaced an offside front wheel bearing under warranty but all to no avail.
As you can imagine the noise is getting on my t*** and I am getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of understanding or dealer resolution.
Has anyone experienced similar issues or point me in the direction of a specialist - I am in Aylesbury, Bucks.
regards
