I've noticed whenever I take my 110 (D300 HSE X-dynamic 2024) on farm tracks or rough ground I get a rattling sound, specifically from the front right-hand-side (drivers side here in UK). Because it doesn't happen at any other time I haven't spent any time investigating further.

Mine is currently back at the dealership being fixed. The loan car is another 110 (D300 HSE X-dynamic 2023) and when I took it up to the farm yesterday I got EXACTLY the same rattling sound from exactly the same location.

Has anyone else had this? Know what it is? My initial thought is something suspension related... but maybe its simpler than that. Seems a coincidence that both vehicles have the same issue.

 

Yes. I get a clunking noise like a dull metalic thunk on the US drivers side when I'm on rough terrain. Not all the time but pretty often. I thought maybe a suspension element had broken but dealer found nothing. I don't think they looked to hard as they couldn't hear the noise. You wont hear it on street terrain unless you really give it the beans over a speed bump and even then it's not that obvious. Really takes some articulation to get it to sing.

I thought it might have been my bonnet being a bit loose so I refined the latch a bit. It's still there as a recent mountain track confirmed.

Probably going to have to bring it in to dealer again. I have less than 1000miles on my warranty and have a feeling it will make itself obvious at 50001 miles.

 

My dealer just addressed a similar noise in my 2024 110. They said was either a loose lower radiator mount or a heat shield, and that they found "lots of things loose up there" and just tightened everything. The clunk has since gone away.

 

I will maybe have a look see first before trying the dealer again. Anything to avoid all their nonsense. This makes sense and would be in line with what I'm hearing. Thanks for the info @Seventh

 

Good luck - let me know how it works out.

I had to take two trips there to get it sorted. It's frustrating because both dealers near me have a service writer who 100% is NOT a car person. For this one, I described the noise over the phone in enouhg detail to fill a dissertation (scenarios, driving conditions, etc) so that they could reproduce. When I saw the write-up, the tech just had a sheet that said "NOISE FROM FRONT".

They didn't fix it the first time, and when I picked it up after the second trip it still wasn't fixed. The service manager went for a drive with me, I was able to reproduce the noise doing any/all of the things I told the Service Writer over the phone, and lo and behold the tech was able to find the problem. So if you drop it off at the dealer make sure that they are actually relaying your information to the technicians, because both times I've had an issue with my LRs it hasn't been the case.

...Which is really frustrating.

 

Yeah my dealer is useless. Info is never listened to or relayed to anyone. It's like dealing with goldfish. No info is retained. Their idea was that the noise from the front was from the opposite corner rear and that they'd send it to a body shop to get checked out. I asked if they'd done like I'd suggested and driven it over some undulating terrain to reproduce noise and it was like I was speaking ancient greek. I passed on the body shop. I needed the vehicle.

Same dealership lied about replacing a rear shock and that LR were assisting clear codes. Could be a while. Reason codes were persisting was that the rear shock had not been replaced as they had told me. 5 seconds to glance under the vehicle confirmed that. Shock was later replaced, codes went away.

Going to dealer is such a royal pain in the hole.

I had a bit of a shake rattle and roll with my radiator yesterday. I know they are supposed to have some play in them so couldn't immediately spot anything of note. Same with suspension components although I don't have a lift. Wheel liner on that side is a bit less tight than the other side. It has taken a knock or two though.

Sorry for the ramble.
