I would hope that they will be replaced under warranty. I have done 40k from new in 14 months with 20k towing so will probably be in the same boat.

Hi, I had the same issue in my MY11 with about 91k on the clock. I purchased the Lwr control arm bushes from a suspension supplier here in Sydney and then had them fitted. They are poly units rather than original Land Rover. They will hopefully never need replacing again. :) The Fronts were $155 and the rears $150. When fitting them, the Front outer ball joints were a little buggered so I replaced them as well ($141) About $1200 all up inc labour. Smooth as a baby's bum now.Quote:

I'll ask Scott because I reckon I could hear a rattle when it was just about new!Quote:

However the good news is that it is going to be done under warranty [bigsmile]Quote:

Finally I noticed in the past few days that the automatic head lights that go on when the surrounding light gets down to a certain level, don't switch off when the light becomes brighter. So for instance I start the car in the garage and the auto lights go on, but when I take the car out of the garage into full sunshine they remain on. I tried switching the dial around, but they still stay on.
The usually stay on for a while even if it's sunny. From memory it was suggested that the sensor area on the windscreen should be cleaned. FYI in case you don't know, the sensors for auto lights and wipers sit behind the rear view mirror in that black area at the top of the windscreen. You can see them if you look.Quote:
