As the title, if the car is cold, often there is a very loud moaning from the rear brakes as you are trying to reverse. So loud that people look at you wondering whats going on. I'm thinking pads sticking a bit? As soon as you are driving and a bit of heat is generated they are fine.
Its in the dealers today. Last night when dropping it off the receptionist said something along the lines of they all do that!
Of course it hasn't done it for them and an inspection has revealed all looks normal.

Anyone else suffered from this, I have done a search and turned nothing up.

On the plus side, the other noise I described to them from the engine end, they have diagnosed as a faulty DPF and are replacing it under warranty and they are replacing the heater blower fan as it stopped working a couple of weeks ago. Although I had cured it and it was still working, that wasnt a problem

They are faulty brake pads, LRT should change them as a warranty fix-mine were.
They used the wrong (softer) compound in the mix apparently- mine are fine now (except when it's cold-it's a land rover thing!!!)

 

[HmmmUK]

As @Maffy says this was a problem with some vehicles.
They certainly don't "all do that"!

Most of them make the brake noise first thing Andy.

 

[Maffy]

Yes, even now when it is real;ly cold-soon stops though, correct Hmmuk think it was a batch of 2016 & 2017 cars.

 

[XZ4]

Our 2014 car did it too Maffy

 

[Maffy]

That was just the Scottish weather XZ4-not the quality of the brake pads!!! LOL

 

[CLAYBUSTER]

My front brakes squeal for the first couple of brakes after it has been standing overnight (in a garage) in damp weather. --- very annoying!

 

[jan_tekin]

Mine sometimes does it only in reverse when cold

Mrs V never uses the brakes so can’t help. She never slows down 😮

 

[Andy.M]

I've told 'er indoors to reverse in so she can drive straight out !!!!

 

[HmmmUK]

This might be worth checking?

Mine did it in Drive and reverse, only first couple of times I touched the brakes though.

I think most cars (not all) do this first thing in the morning. Having the hand brake on over night the pads don’t clear the discs fully. Nothing to worry about I’d say

 

[XZ4]

Seems to be a JLR thing. My Jag does it too !!!

Thanks for that, I have let them know, see what happens.

She can still reverse it in though

Wel,l picked the car up. The receptionist went to get the car and reversed it up to the showroom. It sounded like the QE2 fog horn!!!!
They had just explained that an inspection revealed nothing amiss and that LR will not do anything as it is deemed safe and acceptable that under certain conditions brakes will make a noise - can you believe it? - well yes I can really.
The technical bulletin mentioned above is from USA although there used to be one here but it was withdrawn some time ago.

I will be composing a lengthy complaint to Customer Services to get this resolved. It was suggested that the more people who complain to LR the better.

On the plus side the heater blower has been replaced. As has the DPF as they said it was rattling. However the noise I originally sent it in for is now deemed to be a driveshaft bearing. The parts are on backorder from LR with no date so thats for another day.

Despite that er' indoors who drove it home said it is so lovely to drive

 

[Maffy]

Get that letter written, they have a duty of care on this.
Mine was done, but strangley I had to rercord it myself even though, like you they had experienced it themselves

LR just simply let themselves down for twopence of work and customer care-then they bitch and moan about job losses and market share loss and downturn--ANSWER: Start making a quality product!

 

[Andy.M]

Writing it now!! Going to take my time and not swear

 

[Maffy]

Good on you, Cool, calm, Collected, then, POW right between the eyes.
