Hi all,

Just picked up my P250 HSE on Monday and love it, couple of issues on pickup though most if which now rectified,. SATNAV wouldn't work as no maps installed, wheels need balancing and there is a knocking from the front suspension similar to bushes when they have gone over small bumps. Now the dealer fixed satnav and balancing but said that they heard the knocking on road test but couldn't find anything. They tested another new demo and said it was the same so therefore not an issue. Surely this can't be right, does anyone else have a knocking?

No knocking on mine.

Dear,

I have same noise, jaguar got back to me that its common in this model, nothing to worry about but you have to wait for months to be solved.

 

[Mgb]

Did they say what it is and that they are expecting to provide a solution?

Hi

I had a similar problem car witn dealers after many problems and new gearbox
Other issues ECUs interfaces high fuel consumption
The suspension was out of alignment camber reset uneven wear on one front tyre
Now in hands of my solicitors to reject car this after rejection of XE accepted
Real Quality issues with brand

So 2 weeks of investigation and nothing useful.. can't locate noise but 3 other cars petrol 250 do the same. Dealer has basically said there is nothing they can do. Not sure what my options are now apart from taking the car back and putting up with it or trying to reject the car as 4 weeks old of which they have had it for 2 weeks... Thoughts!

Reject it if you have a chance, don't waste a minute.

Knocking on mine and camber was setup incorrectly at manufacture one tyre worn unevenly

Sorry for digging up an old thread. Took delivery of my epace on Saturday and immediately noticed the same thing, almost sou d's like a drop link? Did anyone get to the bottom of this before I start hounding my local dealer?

 

[Mgb]

Gave up, numerous trips to dealer and all of the p300 and p250 platforms did it, they said nothing that could be done.,,, gave up, too many issues so moved to another jaguar model

Mine did this from new, checked the passenger side arch liner and it WAS NOT BOLTED ONTO THE VEHICLE!!! Re-fixed this which got rid of most of the noise but still agree there is a lot of suspension noise form these vehicles. The only re-assurance I had was when I have had 2 x evoque's as courtesy cars and they make the same noise (agree it sounds like drop links)! I suppose that's the trade-off for 20" wheels :lol:
