Does anyone else have problems with interior rattles? I have a rattle in both of my front doors which is really annoying!

Sadly, it seems that rattles are the order of the day!

Some people can live with the odd rattle or three; others can't. I'm one of the latter type, rattles drive me around the bend. My wife would tell you that over the 25+ years we've known each other the number of times I've stopped on a car journey to investigate 'a noise or a rattle' is at least in the hundreds if not more. Given that the LR2 is a quality motor I hoped that 'rattles' would be a thing of the past, although having traveled many miles in FL1's I guess I knew I was kidding myself.

Could not agree with you more Avtur, I expected much better from a "premium" vehicle, my brothers Astra has no rattles whatsoever, so if Vauxhall can do it so can Land Rover!! |

My A3 has only a few rattles, and similar to you my 3-Series snapped a coil spring on the rear.....which was a good excuse to get some AC Schnitzer bits in there instead Last edited by Gambba on 4th Sep 2007 3:40 pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Oh my God! And some say that German cars are reliable! At least our Freelanders do their tricks before you get on the road - they simply don't start. Could that be a secret safety feature from LR? |

I also have a rattle / vibration in or near the drivers door and a less audible rattle in the passengers door. The one in the drivers door is really annoying. As if the window is vibrating. I happens mostly on uneven roads, especially on cobblestones of course. It seems to go away almost completely when I open the window. Did you ever find a fix for these rattles / vibrations? |

Same window rattle with mine too. But not serious enough to annoy.

Have to say my FL2 is rattle free - absolutely silent. Its the only car I've ever owned that has been so free of any squeek or rattle or noise regardless of road surface, this includes supposed more premium german brands.
