Reply With QuoteI would be looking for a loose connection somewhere. Coil pack, injector....that sort of stuff that can be affected by a jolt.
Piston slap doesn't affect general engine running so I think you can rule out that being the result of a pothole.

The BSL has struck again,,
This time it may be terminal(with any luck)
Happily motoring along (without van) hit a both wheel pot hole(non aligned road onto a bridge) and instant piston slap,,,, any moderate throttle aplication and (sounds like only) one cylinder can be made to rattle,, very sluggish at take off and obviously running on fewer than 8, can be teased up to highway speeds with no apparent bad noises,, but its not happy Jan,,
so, what could cause sudden loss of a cylinder and piston slap??
eating another valve?

I think, from reading another thread, you've got a replacement engine lined up?
At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

Yep, that's going in my 'cause of liner problems' book.

scarey huh,,,
yea,, new short 4.6 from Turners UK.
Thing is,, I cant ever remember overheating it,, sure it once got hot enough to melt the plastic convoluted tubing under the bonnet,, but that was last November. no lights, no other indication of excessive heat.
