Thread: PUMA RATTLE

Yep mine sounds like that. I believe it's something to do with the common-rail injection, I've never worried about it as from what I've read on here it's characteristic of the tdci engine.

Hi. Mine is the same - only when accelerating between 1500 and 2000 revs - it's standard I believe ? Tried to get it rectified with new eCU etc , but no change. Had it for about 60000 KMs now ( now 110000kms ) car runs great though. So I'm just putting up with it and adding it to the list of LR idiosyncrasies . If you do decide to " fix it " and are successful , let me know !

Mine does it and it is apparently the injectors. I've got a remap and it's made very little difference.
At times the engine runs so sweet and then will rattle horribly for a while then off it goes again. Some say Transits do it as well but I've never heard one as noisy as this.
I've also found it helps if I don't wear my hearing aids........

Hi All mine's the same. i got a replacement ecu and rattily noise still there
and between 1500 to 2000 rpm.
Reading about defender diesel's it's a quite one.

Same same.

Mine had the same problem, turns out it was dirty fuel (moisture) and and then the car needed the injectors re-programmed... all sweet now.

Can you share with us who fixed your rattle. Maybe they have the right process to fix what some of haven't been able to do ? Any info would be appreciated.

Good call Danske, it would be good for any info would be appreciated . I thought a new ecu would be a reprogram. not that i would know, i just thought that ecu was the brain..
I'm sure someone will correct me ... if it not .... thanks
