Hi All,
I greatly appreciate any help you can provide, so thank you in advance.
My 2009 Defender 110 2.4 TDCI has been running well for the past few months. However, after returning from Devon last week, I noticed a loud ticking noise coming from the top of the engine, although it was still driving fine.
I posted a video in the Puma FB forum, which you can hopefully view here:

The general consensus, and after consulting with a local mechanic, pointed to the injectors or washers ect being the issue. The mechanic confirmed that Cylinder 2 was not reading right and suggested replacing all four injectors since they were likely on their way out. I ordered new injectors, and the mechanic installed them this morning.
Unfortunately, the noise persists.
His computer showed the numbers on the cylinder in positive and the 3 others were showing negative readings.
The mechanic is uncertain about the next steps and has suggested replacing the Rocker Arm and Valve Housing, suspecting the rockers might be causing the ticking noise.
Does anyone have further suggestions? Are there any TDCI specialists around SW England who might be able to help? Given how common this engine is, I'm hoping someone out there knows what the issue could be.
