I am hoping it is not suggestive of something serious. Car performs as new in all respects, and is regularly serviced an maintained by myself,
If its the same as in the Disco (and I expect it is), then its probably full of dirt/dust. There are 2 holes in the backing plate that allow dirt to get in - 1 facing towards the front of the vehicle (with a spring hooked into it) and the other on the lip at the top. The holes on mine are now blocked using silicone.
