got a call from LR dealer - did not find anything wrong with the car and I can pick it up.
same as speary - bring it back if it comes up again.
at least they cleaned it...

I wouldn't necessarily be pleased that the cleaned it. I have a video of my dealer washing my car. I was horrified. They won't be washing mine again in a hurry

the noice back again for few times so contacted the german dealer I bought the car from - no reply. thanks to pete@landrover, who helped to get them to react, they towed the car 2 weeks ago. I did not need it for that time as I was to business trip till yesterday. though they promised to keep me updated, no info. mailed, called today, no response. finally in the evening got an e-amil- the car is "almost ready":
- defective dual mass flywheel
- clutch unequaly worned
- replaced leaking turbo charger pipe which they noticed when taking out the transmission
- new A pillars plastic covers plus repaired damaged roof painting caused by the old version covers
- new parcel shelf
- repaired the key cover peeling off

they still going to adjust steering (I guess geometry after removing the gear box) but should be ready for pick up tomorrow. hope thats clear enough that this is going to be my first and also last LR.

So a month ago it was no fault found, now you need DMF, Clutch and turbo pipe repaired!

Good job Pete helped you out.
