Hi All
I started having a problem ith my 5 years old (circa 75,000 miles) 2.0 litre TD4 last year, when after a long drive (Harrrogate to Norwich and Back) I noticed a knocking noise/rattle in the engine bay. I took it to our local Landrover Specialist http://www.discovery-centre.com/.
They told me that they could not find a fault and to let it develop as it was intermittent. After a month or 2 it started to get worse and the car became virtually undriveable. The knocking began when feathering the engine, but got to the stage where white/black smoke was belching out of the exhasut with a continuous rattle/bang as soon as the accelorator is pressed.
I returned to the garage and they found a fault on 2 injectors which were replaced. I collected the car and drove off pleased with the job done.
Then, the problem returned and was as bad as ever.
I returned to the garage, who were amazed, and had the car for a few days, before ringing me with no real answer. The fault codes were being showen either stationary or whilst beign driven, but the noise was still there.
The owner suggested I replace the other 2 injectors and hopefully that would solve the problem. Again picked it up, and all seemed ok, but after a day of light driving, it returned.
The garage suggested a software upgrade, and that ddin't help.
I think they have tried hard to solve my problem, but are at a loss as what to do.
My car is now sat on the drive, as I limped home today with smoke pouring out of the back of the car and the sound of a machine gun coming from under the bonnet.
Any ideas please???
