A couple of problems....

Thought about taking it to the dealer but for 10 secs work did it myself. Checked the other doors at the same time and not been a problem since.

I have exactly the same on mine. Its the bolt that fastens the stay to the door on the drivers side. Its happened twice now, perhaps I didnt tighten it enough the first time.

I'll have a look later.

Dealer said they would look at any software updates whilst it is in

Exactly the same issue, dealer couldn't work out how to fix it hence JLR were called in to inspect it and fix it.

My problem was just the stay and nothing to do with the hinges/alignement; it closed properly just creaked as the stay moved against the pillar.

As an aside does anyone know what causes this suspension problem. I have had a scrapping/mudlap fouling wheel sound a couple of times when I have reversed out of a parking space on full lock and then gone on 3/4+ lock the other way to go forward. First time it happened I thought what have I driven over, next couple of times I have just driven on. There is no pattern to it and no hope of repeating it on demand at the dealers? Does it have anything to do with the haldex coupling?? I am not concerned about it (yet) but if it gets worse would be keen to know more so as to be more informed before taking it to the stealers.

xxxx5, how "Old" is your car, my wife has similar problems (built feb 2012)- driver's door not closing well, dealer tried to do something but did not help much...and afterwards the wind noise started... Since then dealer keeps trying to fix at least the wind noise it by changing various parts (door seal, A pillar cover...) but w/o success it is very frustrating

No, never had any wind noise.

Car was built early Jan 12. Dealer called JLR when they realised they just couldn't fix it, I would push this ASAP.

Received my Evoque back last night.....

Drivers door all sorted. A slight bit of wind noise had developed when the hinge started to play up, this noise has now gone

They could not replicate the 'scraping noise' when going over speed bumps but to be fair the noise had recently become intermittent....

Car returned gleaming

All good

Ali.

My evoque has now developed the door hinge problem, now sounds like a £100 banger when closing the drivers door. Hopefully get it booked in for Wednesday.

Hope they sort it out quickly for you, I was a little embarrassed when mine was creaking, like you say, sounded like an old banger!

Just to add, the problem has not recurred....
