Hi
Hope someone can help. Got a 2011 Defender 90 with 2.4 Duotorq engine with 140,000 km on it. Always ran perfect then whilst driving back on motorway about 3 months ago my engine suddenly developed a rattle. Oil light came on very briefly then went off. Car performance was never affected and as in remote location I had to drive 200km home on it. Car still has same pull power as before, starts on the button. I later changed oil and all was good with no metal and I have never had a no loss of coulant and it doesnt overheat.
Took the car 3 months ago to garage (non LR) and he has flushed engine, then replaced injectors and part-stripped down to see if seats are still properly set but despite all the above it hasnt stopped the knocking. I live in S. France so communication a little hard between mechanic and I but he has had car 3 months now and I think he has ran out of ideas.
Is there anyone else who had same engine knock. I attach a video of knocking.
Thanks in advance Nigel
