Hi all this is my first post we have a HSE with a annoying clicking noise every time you pull away. Think i have tracked it down to the nearside 2nd row seat as this can make the same noise.

if the seat back is moved forward then fold it back to the upright position if the up switch is pressed again on the rear of the seat the same noise can be heard if you do the same to the drivers rear seat it seems to switch the up button off as if there is a back rest upright position...

Hi,

Thanks,
Ankur

Hi everyone,
I'm dealing with a frustrating intermittent no-start issue on a 2019 Range Rover discovery 5 L462.
