Sorted, thanks mate, I'll order it now

Anyone know what this is gunked into the back of my drivers side cylinder head (the black rubbery half round thing)? Its leaking oil and making an unholy mess of the street (its between the rocker gasket and the head). Need to know what it is unless it comes as part of a rocker cover gasket kit...

Next year? That's a bit ambitious mate o_O

Don't! If I had it, one of those is the first thing I'd blow 100k on.

Ye MOT was fine with the exhaust. If I change the exhaust I think it'll be for a standard one but this one masks out the tapping a bit so it's staying lol. Quicksilver exhaust fits nice and sounds just on the right side of hearing the V8 vs quiet OEM but a grand for a backbox is way down the...

Definitely not for the purists almost to the point of ruining the car but it was like this when I bought it and haven't felt the urge to put a silencer back on it yet.

With the cruise on and a flat road it's pretty quiet but give it some throttle and it'll wake the dead. I've never had a pedestrian step out in front of this car, it's true what they say, loud pipes save lives lol

It's had the rear silencer removed which makes it sound a bit lumpy at lower rpm but it's the same as it was before the tapping appeared.

I think that's the plan. Thanks all for the advice.

Ooooo, swear filter lol

****! Looks like I'll have to hunt round for an indy to do it for me.

Sounds like I'd best hope it's vanos seals lol

Thanks for that. I am hoping it's a lifter after putting the crap oil in. Haven't done the air bleed exercise for the lifters yet but going to satisfy myself it's not something more serious first. The car has quite a bad oil leak so it has about a litre a week, probably a bit less to around 300...

Thanks. The black screen is because I had my phone under the car and it was dark but capturing the sound was the point to the video anyway. Chain tensioner isn't very old, probably about 6 months and only done around 10,000 miles although I was thinking the noise could be the chain slapping the...

I'm never that lucky. It does sound like a tappet but a heavier knock than a usual light tappet noise and can't figure out why it appears between certain revs at light throttle. Typical Range Rover!

It's the only video in my channel here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ3VujsRGKqPUe2-xFMg_ZQ

They're crap lol. Can you view it in YouTube by clicking the video title or the place holder where the video should be?

Does this help?

What's the problem with the video?

Got a strange tap which made itself known when I put 15/40 semi synthetic castrol Gtx in my 2003 4.4 Rangey. I only really noticed it after a week or so and a week later have now done an oil and filter change using 5w/30 fully synthetic but the tapping remains. Changing the oil has cured the...
