    Ticking V8

    in Range Rover Forum

    Posted

    as fridge says, might come back with a flush, but no 7 on the cam is prone to wear and this gives a knock like a spoon on a eggcup sort of noise, new cam and followers sorts it.

    Could also be worn valve train ie pushrods / rocker arms, or even the cam floating back and forth, does it go if revved ?

    Compression test may show it up ?

    Hi Nige when you rev it it stays there but does not get any louder!! seems to rev happy enough i am taking it out for a spin on saturday so will know if it's any worse under load. The problem is the rangie is solid in all the right places and it's very nicely priced but this ticking/tapping is the only thing putting me off, im pretty sure i could live with it as its only a weekend weapon or would this be a job that would need doing ASAP :unsure: cheers for all the help so far.

Now i dont know a lot about V8's is this something simple or could this be it a big problem any advice is appreciated cheers.

    Think also mudman what does not go down too well for me is " have tried it twice and so far its cost in the region of £1000 in damages between 3 cars allthough i did manage to get all the way down it last time without the winch but its so rough" because this is just the things the Anti's love to see and then create a load of rubbish to publish in some local Rag!! which in turn brings attention to said lane and pressure on the local council to then close said lane!!!

    Hi all ,

    i'm just wondering if anyone else on here has been down the lane known as "the lane from hell" its off the A4 **** in wiltshire........ have tried it twice and so far its cost in the region of £1000 in damages between 3 cars allthough i did manage to get all the way down it last time without the winch but its so rough. but it's well worth a look.

    well to be honest if its a Byway then it should not be drivin if its that bad, so give it a couple of months or so then it will be TRO'D :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: thank you :rolleyes:

    Hi Guys im after a weekend weapon that i can play about with and tinker with over a long period of time. So what i would like is a Ex MoD 90 do you think i would be able to get a road legal 90 with a budget of 2k, i know it will have a 2.5 NAD engine but at a later date i will replace it with a 200Tdi :ph34r: so do you think this budget could work?? Thanks

    300 tdi help

    in Discovery Forum

    Posted

    Hi Guys, i had a phone call from my father who owns a 1998 300tdi ES discovery, he is having a slight problem and wondered if any of you gents had come across it. While driving along at 70mph it drives fine and rev's freely but when you approach traffic or a junction and let of the accelerator the revs suddenly die away it will just tick over and not rev and black smoke will come out the back!!! The only way to get it to rev again is turn it of and start it again and as you can tell this is pretty hairy when doing 70 :blink: :blink: :blink: This has only come apparent on long journeys not short distance ones any help is very appreciated :unsure:
