Its not consistent the best rattle seems to come at 15c water temp, thats usually about 2-5 higehr than ambient, figures taken off scan gauge, the rattle will still happen up to 20c water temp.

They had quite a few 110s in the workshop so must be selling a few.

Even the Mrs and the tinlids love yours, part of our Saturday routine, all perving on your Defender:D

Did it badly this morning. First time the car has been driven on a cold morning for ages so that would explain why we haven't had it happen much since the EGR was replaced in February. I am interested to see if we get the same response about needing a software update from LR as DB/MM.

Can you tell me more about this rattle? You see, mine will rattle for perhaps 1-2 seconds after firing when I start it in extreme cold , then run normally. I then give it a few minutes at idle, and drive off gently until it reaches operating temp. I thought all diesel engines will do this type of rattle thing.

Is this what yours is doing?

I;m guessing from solmanics other posts in the past its similar to what ours does not on start up but when being driven
