Well I have a diesel V8 which makes approx 320 and that is useless 🤣 it gets about 15-19mpg. Granted it's trying to move around a 2.6tonne brick on wheels and is nowhere near as fun to chuck about as the Skoda. 3.6TDV8 L322 😅

This is kinda a whole rear round thing. Wet or dry. I guess I'll try the grease and then I'll try other things being replaced.

This is my creaking. Handily my work carpark has loads of speedbumps perfect for catching the creak. It creaks with every bounce as it settles after the bump. I'll try a bit of L-grease.

Thanks, I'll take a look at pricing those things up and try and do the lot at once. Hopefully someone can answer this next bit, are the TTRS top mounts that much better at all? I've seen bits and pieces about using them but unsure if they're really needed for a family barge. Is there anything else I should do while I'm doing top mounts? Any little remedial things I can do while things are out of the way? Not shy of a spanner and have done a lot of suspension swaps on my MGZS so hopefully will all go well! I reckon I'm gonna be spending a fair bit of cash on this thing soon. Poor RR will have to wait 🤣

Sorry for bumping this old thread up. So I have been listening out when I does and doesn't creak. It's very minimal if there at all when coming to a stop but it is extremely apparent over slow speed bumps like speed bumps and heavy undulations in bad roads. I cant hear at faster speeds as there is too much road and wind noise to really tell. it will do this wether it is one or two wheels on a speedbump too. it also seems to be reeeeaaaly wallowy over bumps. Like the rebound control is shot too and I'm just bouncing on springs. All this as I'm trying to repair a new to me "Full fat" L322 range rover 🤣

It does a little but not so much as with the bumps where it comes on much more harshly.

Gradually getting worse, noticeable at low speed over bumpy roads and especially a harsher speed bump. Seems to come from both sides. Is this the front LCA's do we think? It's a very crunchy creak. Cheers.

Would be great if the Google maps displayed on the digidash but we all know that won't happen. But I don't use the Skoda maps anyway so no great loss as long as apple play and AA still work.

I struggle enough with remembering how many times to roll the control knob for the mk3 MFD without looking at the Speedo. But at least then it's just the Speedo. The centre console is muscle memory or I can at least feel I'm not on the right button. Having to swipe a small MFD without looking and maintaining accuracy is going to be awful, especially given that sometimes a swipe may not work as expected. Absolutely stupid, clean for clean sake is foolish and, ultimately, dangerous. And that bloody screen is daft too. Build it in, why do you need a TV for maps ffs. Edit as if just noticed a "unique selling point" of "quick access to many functions". What is quicker than a button for that damn thing that you know where it is with a click to know it's been engaged. FFS. Another edit: is that a split opening arm rest? Why? The second worst bit about my mates A-class, close to the TV screen on the dash.

She didn't, it was coming out of a parking space and it was a low motorway armco type metal barriers. Hahaha, already paid for. It's all looking like it's going to be an insurance job.

Unfortunately the other half has scraped the car good and proper and has involved the rear arch between the door and arch so I'm guessing its not going to be an easy fix but I'm no expert. Does anyone have experience of wether we'll get a good fix or will it be a case of it's always going to look bad? May not need a door replacement but I haven't seen the depth of the scratch there yet and the alloy is gouged too. Not what we need with our wedding in two weeks 🤣

What do we make of these Yokohama's touting 67db? I was gonna go up to 45profiles to get what comfort I could from the 19's and these came up with 4-5db lower than most?

Just put them on for the aesthetic 😎

I was thinking pack it up with a bit of pipe insulation 🤔
