Thread: Discovery 4 SDV6 Engine Knocking

Ricks 4WD centre Nerang is a good indie on the coast.
Nice honest guy who knows LR’s inside and out,and not rediculously expensive.

I wouldn’t go near a dealer.

Just my2 cents worth,hope it is all sorted shortly.

Thanks mate, I'll pop into Rick's place and see what they can do for me, Nerang is 10 mins away.

I honestly think it sounds like a dodgy lifter in which case its lid off time what a mental design choice!


Cheers

Well that’s practically an unheard of issue in these cars so I do suggest you seek out the above Indy.

Yeah, I think it's probably wishful thinking tbh. I have added an extra clip to 1st post along with links to scarily similar YT vids that are bottom end problems. Either way it's going to be painful I think Thanks for info, I'm am a novice with Land Rover problems I'm afraid.

It won't be long before you become an expert

Lots of good info on here as well

Just take the belt off and run the engine, that'll tell you real fast, then you can spin everything isolated

Hey, just tried removing belt. Fired it up and noise still there as well as charging system fault of course! If lifters aren't a common fault on these. The other suggestion floating around tinternet are injector(yet more wishful thinking!). Failing that I'd say the engine is cactus

Going to Rick's place shortly to show video. I assume it's not a good idea to driver it....

Cheers

That idler / tensioner is moving no worse than the dozens ive seen.

Your issue lies in a lifter / injector more likely.

Have you got a reader, you need to check injectors.
