I have a 2014 Freelander 2 HSE.
I have noticed that when in drive and stopped at trafficlights its as if I get a bump from behind, but there is nothing actually hitting the car. There are no other drive problems.
Sounds expensive...
 
The gearbox drops into low loss mode after a few seconds being stationery, which might be what you're feeling.
Has the gearbox fluid been replaced more often than the stupidly long LR service interval?

When we check van at work, we have to check if it needs an engine service, cambelt or transmission service/fluid change.

On the new VW Crafters, the transmission service is every 260,000 kms.

That seems a stupid length of time. At that interval you may as well say it never needs doing. If it is something that is needed, surely it should be shorter than that.
