Td5 Rear Seat Noise

I have a Disco TD5 and whenever anyone is sat in the main back seats there is a constant creeking noise from the rear load cover area. This does not happen when there is no-one in the back seats. I have heard that there is some sort of modification that can be done. Does anyone know anything about this modification or another way to stop the creeking?

yeah

dont let anyone sit in the back or turn the music up louder

yes there is a mod and i know that it involves fitting some new parts but i have no idea what they are

I too have the same problem, i have not found a solution yet although taking off the load cover reduces the noise. Also, i have noticed after 15min or so of noise it go's quiet. Im guessing the rub point has warmed?? Please post of you find any mods ect.

I have the same noise as well, and as for going quiet after a while I think you just get accustomed to it! :doh::doh::doh::frusty::frusty:

After speaking to the main dealer the modification part applies to the older Discoverys (300tdi). I have found that is is the back of the rear seat rubbing against the wheel arch. I stuffed ajacket between the seat and the wheel arch and got someone to sit in the rear seat and the noise was gone. I think a bit of foam or maybe those anti-scuff pad you get for the feet of furniture might be enough to stop the noise.

It's not very often that anyone sits in the back but I will give it a go.

I have had exactly the same problem. I found that the best thing to use was an old pair of the wife's knickers. Keeps the dog entertained in the boot no end.
