I have an 8 year old freelander TD4 with the BMW engine and manual gearbox. I stalled the engine badly at 30 mph in a long curve due to a distraction and had to stop. (my fault....I know I know)
I think something broke.
When I started the engine... it sounded like the exhaust had come adrift or like the 'early diesel enginessounded' that loud clatter on tickover.... but..... when I gave it a few revs (above 1800) it clears and sounds normal (ish)
Lifting the bonnet the noise seems to be coming from the fan belt end of the engine (It is LHD). No lights come up on the dashboard. She runs fine and has the same power. But now, at traffic lights it is very noisy on tickover.
I do not want to drive it like this, but daily rely on her
Help is needed please.
What can it be?
Any suggestions would be welcome
