I want that prize... ordering some black masking tape now.

 

Legend!

 

Got my MY23.5 P510e ATB.

Yes, there is a wind noise. With music off it gets really noticeable at 100 km/h / 60 mph and then keeps gradually increasing with more speed. Like if driver door window would be not entirely closed. I tried it with electric only and with petrol engine on - there's no difference, it sounds the same. Not an issue in the city, but can be annoying on highway.

What the hell is a 23.5?

Yep, this is the issue...

Let's see if water's tape yields any results, then we can write to Land rover.

 

I got the highly anticipated black tape in hand... just need to steal the car away from the Wife. Hopefully tomorrow.

 

Is there any chance someone could take their phone and record a video of this?

 

No they don’t. Some owners who want to feel like they got something different refer to half model years but manufacturers generally do not.

There is nothing updated for the 460 beyond routine (if voluminous) updates to certain parts. All 23s are effectively the same.

That sounds a little too generalized. I have quite a few product briefs going back on half year model changes directly from Land Rover, listed as "MYX.5". At least one window sticker for MY17.5 and a MY19.5 product brief that I promised not to post. Long time ago but MY14.5 L405 had a lot of changes over MY14. That's the one that comes to mind because of all the changes. I wouldn't just dismiss it; there is history for .5 MY changes with JLR. The documents are on my site.

Having said that, I do agree in the current situation the changes are meaningless but even the order sheets have become meaningless now.

 

For those that don't have the wind noise - would you suggest we attempt to get ours looked at too? Maybe it would make the car even more quiet? Or would it be our luck that it would screw up our cars?

 

If it ain’t broke…. If you’re happy with that aspect of your car I wouldn’t suggest it being tinkered with. You may be sorry.

 

Apparently JLR is well aware of the problem. The tech that worked on my car today got the internet working and I now have the weather app along with Alexa and Spotify. I am very happy.
He too said there are foam strips but there are many and it could be a nightmare to install trying to isolate where the noise is actually coming from.

Forgot to mention, concerning the apps and connectivity, the technician got technical support involved and basically technical support wiped out the SIM card ( it was corrupted) to the car which is in a module that is not accessible. Then all the apps were reinstalled and the internet came back and apps worked. This could not be done without getting technical support involved. I was told they are the last step b/c technicians are required to troubleshoot exactly as TS says. Sometimes it becomes a lengthy drawn out process.

 

You're right

 

We’re you getting updates even though the weather app wasn’t working?

Received only one update…. 3.3.2. So a bad sim may not affect the updates. A technician would have to answer that. However, it definitely can affect receiving the apps or it did in my case.

 

Interesting. Odd that WiFi wouldn’t be able to handle all when connected.

thought the same thing, unless it's a config setting that's blocking it

 

So I taped-up the area between windscreen and area to the side and above and it made no difference to the wind noise at 70 mph +. Next step is to try around the driver's side door...anyone else tried?

 

I managed to tape mine up yesterday as well. Didn’t change a thing. Drove 120 plus miles at 70 mph.

@AlexJR Are you eligible to win your own prize or am I still considered the first?

That is some beautiful taping! Much better than my attempt so yes, you win the prize of the group's admiration! Interesting what Brandon says re the window position - I quite often check that my window is all the way up, I will try and jig it down slightly to see if this makes a difference. If anyone hears of a campaign or any form of recall please let the group know. My local dealership truly useless so will need to try somewhere else if there is a fix. They had the car 4 days and admitted they had done nothing. Squeaking fan? Oh well we would need to strip out the dash so would have to book you back in. How about look at the car the day it is dropped in...truly JLR's most major fault is the dealer network.

 

I have been playing with this here and there. My noise (air leak) is definitely coming from the drivers side door window or door frame around the window (where it presses against the frame of the car. I have covered my hand over the gap from the door windows frame to the body frame (just down from the top of the window where its start curing down) and seem to muffle and reduce the wind noise.

In the last few days, I have been playing with the drivers main window. With the window all the way up, I set the wind noise. If I quickly tap the down window to move it down barely, I seem to get a slight reduction in the noise. That has me thinking it's the weather stripping the window pushes against when all the way up. It seems that when the window is put all the way up, it "seats" and pushes out a tad. This makes me wonder if the thickness of the rubber is not enough or when it set in position its bows out a tab then causing a gap. Does this makes sense?

The fact so many are not having this issue while equally many are, I wonder if the result is from a bad or varied lots/suppliers of the weather stripping or slopping assembly of parts that does align perfectly as they should?

 

There is a Technical Service Bulletin available on TOPiX, JLRTB02110NAS1

There's a lot to it.

 

Does it state any rectification? Strange it says North America only.

 

Check your PM

 

If I could receive a PM as well that would be great

 

Id like to see the PM as well - just to see what the fix is because some of my friends are talking about it as well.

I can't believe my luck that I don't hear it - but maybe my hearing isn't what it used to be? My god I hope that isn't the case. I need to test drive one of my friends cars.

 

Good find! As @BigVD@wgy said, it's a lot but here's the whole thing in PDF:

OMG! It's ridiculous. I will show it to dealership and see what they say, but I'm not even sure I want my new car to be dismantled like this. :/

 

Wow thanks for sharing - this is INSANE. Buy some double sided tape and sealant and get to work!

I will forward to the workshop and see what they say. Thanks for sharing all!!

 

Please drive to London so I can listen above 70mph and see?!

 

Holy smokes, is that ridiculous, or what?

 

I wonder why the TB would be us only...
can we have more information on correction of the issue pls?

 

My concern is they will F something up taking it apart or putting it back together. Resulting in worse conditions, or delays for parts.

 

And while I'm sure it's how they do things and speeds up the process - I wish this was just a kit with everything cut exactly to size and not left up the mechanic using locally sourced materials or equivalent.

 

I think we should nominate one guinea pig. Shotgun not me!
