Strange Noise From Underneath - MY13 TD4

Starting off from the works car park tonight I noticed a strange noise from what seemed to be under the car, sounded like a band saw cutting metal (no I hadn't been drinking). Pulled over when I could (about half a mile) and had a look underneath but couldn't see anything wrong. Got back in an carried on and haven't heard anything since. Car runs perfect, no noise whatsoever (as you would expect for only 8400 miles). Electric handbrake engages and disengages OK, an no brake noise. I'm at a loss.
Anyone got any ideas? Haldex issue?
I may try to pick the dealers brain tomorrow.
Thanks,

Heat shield rubbing on a drive shaft? Happened to me and drove me mad until I sorted it.

could be the exhaust heat deflector shield rubbing on the propshaft, used to be a very common complaint, easy sorted, just bend it back into place

There is an alloy heatshield that runs very close to the propshaft. If it rubs you get a rubbing sound that is relative to road speed/propshaft speed. Just look under the car at the big pipe that joins the engine to the rear axle and check that the shield that runs close to it isn't touching it. On mine it was at the forward end due to some serious wading.

Hi Chris,

I also have a MY 13, manual and have experienced a similar problem, approx 20 times but it has not done it for approx 2 months now. Mine only happened when I was reversing in a straight line. The noise sounded like I had a plastic bucket stuck underneath the car and was scrapping along the ground. As soon as I stopped and started to reverse again the noise would not re-appear in the instance. Took it to the dealers who couldn't fine a problem.

Strange ??

Neil.

Neil,
Thinking about it, your description is better than mine. You described it perfectly.
Must be the Lancashire roads or something.
I’ve done a web search on this but nothing came up. Wonder if LR have changed anything underneath for the MY13 models?
Which dealer did you use, Hunters Preston (A6 Brock)?

In the time since I posted the original message I wondered if anyone had problems with such noises (described as a plastic bucket stuck under the car). Mine has been parked up for nearly three weeks while on holiday (Electronic Park Brake Off) and made the noise again when I drove it out of the garage on my return home but only for a few yards. Cannot reproduce the noise now. Wondered if it was a Haldex issue?

Had something similar on my previous FL2 - turned out to be handbrake rubbing as adjustment had failed. I know one poster said handbrake had been left off but maybe 'regular' brake? Just a suggestion but very like the sound mine made. 2011 SD4 HSE Auto
