Vibration in instrument cluster around 1400rpm.
My 2018 [MY2019] 4-cylinder has a vibration noise that seems to come from somewhere in/near the instrument cluster.
Its starts around 1300 and stops at 1450rpm. Sadly thats a range used almost constantly in traffic here.
Only can be heared on tarmac, cobbles generate so much tire noise that ist lost in the background .
Anyone had this and - preferably- solved it ?

Check your hood adjustment
I know on the XK’s this would happen if there was any play in the corner of your hood once closed. There’s an adjustable rubber stopper you can raise/lower. With the hood closed push down on the corners & if you have up & down play at all raise the rubber until there’s no more movement.
This is a free & quick test. If it’s not that then your dash will most likely need to be opened up & need repair.

US hood == UK bonnet, not sure what you call it. One of the few things my dealer showed me was how to close the hood/bonnet such that both latches latched and the hood/bonnet is even. I do it from the side, reaching out so my hand is in the middle of the hood/bonnet, and slam it. Some folks do it from the front. But if you slam it with your hand near the side, the hood latches crooked (so does the bonnet. ).
No idea if that would be related to your issue.

Hi Rick, I checked under the bonnet/hood. I found two adjustable endstops. With a closed bonnet I could slightly move the right side up& down.
So I raised this adjuster as you mentioned. Now the 'play' is gone. Next time I go for a drive I'll pay attention to know if its solved ..
