| Thanks Alex, will give that one a try. That makes sense because I have noticed considerably more engine braking effect than previous TD4 when coasting, with a noticeable throttle blip as the gearbox c ... |

Seriously, and without wanting to be condescending, but what do you want from a car that it is designed to be a SUV? To behave like a normal (sporty) car?

You may have a point there. The gearbox seems to be far better behaved when pootli ... |

| I have been suffering with this whistle and it is driving me mad. Can't get any sense out of LR dealer, but haven't really pushed it with a lack of time currently. I'm starting to think there is more ... |

| Had my SD4 for 6 weeks, 2000 miles, and the gearbox is getting annoying. I came from a TD4 auto and the box would nearly always be in the right gear to keep the engine within its torque band and the c ... |

Have you got any where with your whistling turbo? Picked up an SD4 on saturday and it has the turbo whistle. Loud enough to bring on a headache on a long trip.
