Team ... I've got a strange phenomena with my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic so would appreciate any help from Landy boffins.
When I accelerate from a standing start ( or indeed from a very low speed ) I get a funny sound from 1600 - 1800 rpm. Bear with me on this sound thing -cos if you can imagine a tyre spinning on tarmac for a second or two- thats what I hear. A sort of high pitched 'scrape'. It doesnt happen when the engine revs up in neutral. I've had my local 4x4 garage ( not a LandRover dealer ) have a look at it but they say its normal and is caused by the turbo vent valve opening at that speed. This I guess is plausible but just doesnt sound right to me. Whatever the problem is, it doesnt seem to affect the car's performance but its annoying me now. Any ideas ? or has anyone else got the same effect ? I havent been able to talk to any other Freelander owners to see if they have the same problem
Best regards
