Thread: Rear seat rattle

Disco 2 2002 Es rear seat rattle. The small section or passenger side rear seat rattles continually on corrugated roads and as this is the only real noise in the vehicle I would like to sort it out. I haven't had a real in depth look yet but I have noticed that it is the upright part of the seat that rattles or moves where it hinges. As the release to tilt the seat forward is cable operated I am just wondering whether there is any adjustment to reduce the gap in this locking mechanism. Its a bit hard to explain but I am sure someone out there would have had this problem before. Any help would be appreciated. :wink:

Robbo,

Check if a small spring has fallen off the catch. One of mine fell out while travelling the Gibb River Road, lucky this was all that fell off I suppose!

When I saw the spring was missing my heart sank as I did not relish the thought of going to a spare parts place for such a small item let alone a Land Rover parts dealer. I found the spring between the seat and the side wall, easy fixed. The rattle sure drove me mad, should be used to it after 3 land rovers!
