I’ve had a rattle in my drivers’ speaker grill when using the mobile hands free only. Despite several trips to the Brisbane dealer and a new door card the problem persists, was basically told there’s no more they can do.
If I put my thumb on the speaker grill it stops. For someone who spends a fair amount of time in the car on the phone this is very annoying.
Do the Sunshine Coast team do services on weekends?
I had a similar creaking sound in my D4 also,
Worked out it was coming from the seat belt connector rubbing against the leather,
I Simply cleaned the leather and treated it with leather protection and the sounds went away,
Alternatively try putting a rag between the seat belt connector and seat leather, let us know if your sounds go away after that?

I've had a few creaking issues in my MY14.
One set of creaks came from when I retrofitted my reversing camera - so caused by me. Fixed eventually by pulling the upper/side parts of the console out again and putting them back in in the right order - after the lower centre console. I'd had the lower console in and out a couple of times without removing the upper/side console parts. This made a huge difference. I do note though that others have had the lower part of the console out for various reasons and have put it back in with no reports of creaking... I tried to seat mine properly so it wouldn't creak, just wouldn't 'go' but once I put them in in the right order the creaking went away. It felt properly seated and all looked to be in the correct position but obviously wasn't.
Seat belt driver's side I wrapped the lower section below the buckle which was touching the seat with this fabric wrap (Fabric Cloth Adhesive Tape Cable Wiring Harness Wrap Automotive Accessories | eBay) - creaking gone.
Hope you can get it sorted.

Im gonna go see the guys @ sunny coast, I think.
Thanks All for your input and advice.
I have resolved to go see the guys at Sunny Coast. I bought my car from there, so will be nice to go see them. on that note, the reason I bought the car from Sunny Coast instead of Brisbane (dealership which is 10 min walk from my house instead of 1.5hr drive) was not price related at all! price was within $100. It was the fact that the sales guy in BNE, although a nice guy full of ambition, had clearly never driven off road.... and was trying to sell me a Disco, with very limited knowledge other than whats in the brochures.
What build month is your D4Quote:

I now have a Jan 2016 D4 which doesn't have any 'squeaky' problems so I assume that the problem was sorted.
Cheers and good luck
sorry but i did smile when reading this.... i have an My13 D4 HSE and had an annoying plastic clicking noise somewhere in the dash which developed in the 2nd year i had it. 2 different LR dealers and a lot of frustration and it finally got fixed. something was loose in there somewhere and boy was it frustrating. Happily it's never come back...
Make sure you persevere and as others have said if you can narrow down the location and take as many LR guys for a drive in it to demonstrate it and hopefully you'll get a good result soon.
Sorry, complete sidetracking of thread here but I have to ask - do you buy a new one every year ? DavidQuote:
