Thread: Strange noise under the bonnet of TD5 - sounds like a grasshopper

Mortein?

I doubt it's a bug as the vehicle has done at least 150km's over the two weeks since I first noticed the noise. I'd be surprised if the bug survived that.

I've had a huntsman holding onto the pop up headlight of my daily driver, he held on for 50km at highway speed. 8 hrs later he paid me a visit inside by walking up the a pillar, scared the living crap out of me.

Do you have any electrical accessories under the bonnet? Could it be a relay clicking on/off - if one is dodgy or has low voltage going to it, they can cut in/out rapidly.

Maybe disconnect the battery & see if the noise stops.





Hey Mat, maybe it's a gay Huntsman & just likes hairdresser cars .

find me one of the marque that will handle like it, have the acceleration and fuel consumption of it and doesn't cost six figures and I'll stop driving my Gay car.

It's the only gay car in the village you know, and I love the feel of it's inside.


Back to the problem at hand, have you installed a duel battery system by any chance?

I have only the original battery in at the moment, I do have a second battery tray fitted, but there isn't a second battery installed yet - there is also currently no wiring for a second battery.

I'll try disconnecting the battery and seeing if it still makes the noise.

ABS Modulator ontop of LHS guard in engine bay .... it makes a ticking/clicking/whiring noise ... can't hear it with the engine on.

Stick your ear on/above it ...

Yes ?

Ask me how I know

My abs module does this too but even when she's turned off. I've read somewhere before this is the cause of alot of LR's flattening their batteries if left unstarted for a few days. Mine is only very quiet though, gotta have the bonnet up & ear pretty close to the module itself to hear it. I think the suggestion was to pull a particular fuse but can't remember which one
