Split or loose intercooler hose..
Would this cause the noise to sound like it’s cominf through the drivers air vent on the dash ?
If only a hose, not to much trouble to get repaired ?
Thanks

If its on acceleration then it more than likely would be an intercooler hose, but with it being an L405 I doubt it'll be easy
.Open the bonnet and get someone to give it a good rev the noise should be pretty easy to pin point with your head under the bonnet..

The model is very new i doubt its been around long enough to warrant a Buying guide..
Personally there are quite a few around i'd have a look at a few others.
Hi
Plus 1 what’s been mentioned
If i may add make sure u have a warranty that also cover the crankshaft , when u do decide on one get an independent inspection done for peace of mind
Whooshing sound covers a lot of things, worst one is a cracked crossover pipe which is serious money so please take ur time as ur spending a lot of money
Out of interest , did the whooshing sound happen when u first drove it and then stopped , the viscous fan does start at max revs when first started then stops after a min or two

An L405 is a FFRR
From 2013 the RRS is a L494, before that it is a L320
Think that’s right
@Henry_b , plse don’t throw anything at me, lol

NEVER buy any LR product with an existing fault unless you enjoy pain or the price is very low.

Considering the cost of a 2015 L494 , you would be best served spending £50 ish and getting the AA/ RAC to check over any vehicle you are seriously interested in.
Yeah will be doing this. Thanks

Ours was a just a trip to the LAD or Wksp and a smile and promise of beer. Or in more recent years, a smile and a promise of getting them a space on the next spin class.Its a bummer when you cant phone up CREME and "request" a guy to go look at something
