Hi All,

I have a Disco Sport 2016 and often when I accelerate, I can hear a kind of grinding sound (like metal cutting metal) seemingly coming from the front wheels (possibly just the front right one). At the same time, the accelerator pedal feels rough and I can feel some resistance.

I've had the car checked out by Land Rover and other garages (including a specialist land rover/range rover garage in South London) and they have found no issues.

As the sound is audible from outside the car (I can hear it a bit when the windows are up, but it is most audible when the windows are down), I attached a sound recorder near the wheel and drove around, and the attached file captured the sound.

If anyone has experienced anything similar, or has any insight, would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

 

I think I may have heard this one time in our DS Did you ever find out what the issue is?

 

Yes took it to another LR garage and they found that it was to do with the exhaust. Apparently the bolts were all worn and this seemed to have resulted in the grinding sound. All sorted and no more sound👍

 

The exhaust??
