freelander sounds like boiling kettle !

mr karlos · Oct 17, 2012

Hi all,hoping someone can help with a problem on a 05 td4 we just had a test drive in,we could hear a noise from underneath that sounded like a boiling kettle and like metal grinding,similar to brake pads against discs,but this noise did not go when applying brake pressure and the boiling noise was a constant tone.
Any ideas please, as the car was very good apart from the above,it was a 5dr 2.0 se if this helps.

Thanks

+1, you don't want to be buying a Gaylander, and certainly not one you know there is something wrong with.

5 Doors you say

Obviously wasn't raining then

if its a private sale dont touch it with a barge pole

if its a dealer still dont touch it with a bargepole.... if he was worth dealing with it would have been sorted before it went on sale.

Don't buy any car that sounds like a boiling kettle.......................simple
or has a grinding metal sound neither

why ask?

Ask them what the fault is. You don't have to buy it.
