Thread: Dull thud from the rear

Strangely just had the front caliper on mine similar. Only one bolt missing though. It was a while after brakes were done so maybe on torqued correctly. horrible noise and stopped the vehicle completely. The caliper rotated and jammed.

Hi There,
This is a little off topic, well its a lot actually, my wife has a Mini, same country of origin as the LR, anyway, went to buy a tranny filter yesterday, cost $260 plus, genuine, the guy behind the counter asked why I was buying a new one, I told him because I was doing an oil change, seemed like good practice, "nah mate, we just wash them and put them back" un-quote. the CVT transmission on the Mini is on its last legs this could go a long way to explaining why. A selling feature for the vehicle was that it had been regularly serviced.................and I'm supposed to feel more comfortable knowing that?

That is unbelievable!

To be fair this was a private LR shop, not the dealer.

One bolt found to have broken while the other had disappeared. Perhaps one was over torqued and subsequently broke, allowing the other to work lose over the next 24 hours?

All fixed. Apologies accepted, etc.

it was just a general comment on those who don't take care with the work they do resulting in issues that get blamed on the brand.

Was the broken piece still inside? So I was told.

Hey rb30gtr,

Being the world's worst ever Mod I've managed to edit your post without realising I did so. Apologies!

But the answer is yes, the broken piece was still in there.

Don't worry I've done it numerous times
