    Annoying squeak!

    Have a 2017 td6 and have an annoying squeak from rear of vehicle at slow speeds/ country lanes. It’s only apparent when vehicle has warmed up. Rear discs and pads just fitted on rear , properly greased etc and the squeak persists! Has anyone had a similar issue , and if so how was it resolved ?

    Had a squeak in the rear forever, just given up trying to resolve it. Also had a squeak in the front, again unresolved. It’s a LR, you just live with it. Useless putting it into the dealers, they pull it apart and claim it’s wither a) fixed, b) can’t hear it.

    Thanks for that. Owned many land rovers and this is the first with this issue. Will get to the bottom of it eventually and certainly won’t use main dealership !

    A few on here with the same problem. Not sure anyone has ever been entirely satisfied with the outcome.

    The main dealership cleaned and greased up the discs, but that didn’t do it. Said they couldn’t find anything else. I’ve had new disc and pads recently, didn’t make an ounce of difference. I’d swear it’s trim, but where ever I try to find it myself and resit plastics, low and behold it returns. It’s just at a certain speed, 60 ish I think. Road surface is immaterial. As I said, I’ve just given up.

    Eureka!! Annoying squeak solved for those interested ! It was the spring ( which takes tension from spare wheel wire/cable Very Happy ) on the spare wheel which had gone a bit rusty. A good greasing and squeak no more !

    Thanks, that’s a new one on me. So basically get underneath it with a tin of grease.

    Only thing is, I hate playing about with the spare as it’s an on your back job and mucky. I’ve give it a try that said. Thumbs Up

    It’s a new one on me too, sounded mechanical ie brakes/discs, but it’s a home fix rather than a stealer visit ! Smile

    I suspect the problem you have is what I have had with mine. I took it to my local friendly independent garage, and he diagnosed it as a faulty exhaust baffle valve. This thing opens and closes inside the exhaust silencer box, it happens on mine at slow speeds as you come on and off the throttle.

    Fortunately it is only very intermittent on mine, mostly it is fine. I understand this valve is not available on its own, and if it is really problematic it is a new silencer box you have to have. Expensive!
