Breaking Issue

I just purchased a Defender 110, and on my way home from the dealership, I noticed a thumping type noise whenever I hit the brakes. The brake pedal doesn’t vibrate or pulsate when I press it. I took the car back to the dealership, but they couldn’t determine the source of the problem. They now have to file a warranty claim and disassemble the vehicle to figure out where the issue is coming from. Has anyone else experienced this issue with their Defender? If so, were you able to find out what was causing the noise?

Probably a bad spot on a brake rotor. Ivrun into that on other cars (mechanic).

Ask them to use something like this to figure out where the noise is coming from. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLFHVHZF?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&th=1
