RE: High pitched whine from behind grill

Someone from LR must be able to answer what it is. I just spent the afternoon washing mine and it made that noise the whole time, nearly drove me nuts. I tried everything to shut it off - opened the doors, closed the doors, locked the doors, then double locked, then moved the keys so they were at least 20 yards away from the car but it kept on making the noise for the full hour I was washing the car. Other than being really annoying whatever it is must be placing a drain on the battery if it is operating as long as it was.
After washing the car I moved the car into the garage and now it is silent - wtf???

It was purring to you while you gave it some TLC................................ when you put it in the garage, out of sight, it started to sulk - just like a supermodel would when nobody looked at her
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: High pitched whine from behind grill

Funny ... Tonight, after having owned my FL2 for 2 years, whilst inflating the tyres, I noticed the exact same whine coming from the engine bay as does from the Evoque .... just quite a bit quieter !

RE: High pitched whine from behind grill

I have got a new Range Rover Evoque. SD4 diesel. It makes the same whine after I stop the engine and before starting the engine. Dealer says that's normal. But I hate that noise...I have never heard in any other cars. Disappointed with my range rover..

We all make little whining noises now and again so I presume you are disappointed with everybody
You will get used to it to the point where you won't even notice it
Get out there and drive and stop whining Laughing
