    Any more luck with this?

    My service is due in July/August, I may ask them to look at it then.

    Not sure if I’ve just got used to it, but I’ve not noticed it as much in the warmer weather. Saying that I probably will now I’ve said that!

    So looking under the bonnet, this (circled) is what sounds like and feels when touched is the vibration and droning noise source.

    Car booked in for service next month, I mentioned my problem and they said they will look to diagnose it for £150.

    Not guaranteed but worth a try.

    By way of an update.

    Service completed today at a main dealer and at the same time I asked them to diagnose the noise.

    The technician has indicated that the noise is a characteristic of the car and that it is the cam belt teeth. Apparently the D5 has two cam belts, and this is the noise of one of them and is normal.

    I would’ve thought if it’s a characteristic of the car or engine, I’d read more posts on this, maybe only certain owners tune in to it!

    Thanks for the info, you are dead right, I spoke to the dealer today as it’s going back for a different fault, he mentioned about a fuel filter and fuel pipe issue which causes this, after reading your post I just went and put my hand on the fuel pipes and I can clearly feel that’s were the noise/vibration is coming from. That’s a result as I thought was going to end up as one those”it’s normal” excuses.


    Just had mine serviced and fuel filter was changed ,now i have this tick over drone noise.
    Maybe i`ll have quick look to see if they routed /clipped pipes on properly ,if not it`s what they done.
    I got a LR warranty so, wait and see. Smile

    Mine still does it. I tune it to it more some days than others.

    Update how you get in if you find any stray clips which is more probable if it’s only happened since you had the filters changed.

    I found the problem...
    Where they fitted a new fuel filter ,the plastic clips what hold the high pressure pipes were the wrong way around ( they spin around if no pipe in)
    so there is a different feel to the pipes between tick over and touching the throttle , more of a bigger buzz on your fingers.
    So one of the pipes had moved and was just touching a aluminium air con pipe which was then transmitting the sound inside the car to the heating /condenser rad.

    Re set it ,all good.

    Thing is without a forum as this with a previous comment of where to look , you could be sat there thinking---
    gearbox/ torque converter/ engine / £££££ `s Shocked

    Luck escape , this time Very Happy

    Definitely a nice fix!

    I’m still not convinced mine is as should be but it’s had 3 services now and the techs have not called anything out on it.
