EFILandRover Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hiya, Recently my td5 disco has developed a squeeling noise. It varies with the rpm and if I floor it, it seems to dissapear. I was wondering if maybe it was a boost leak (still got the standard hoses) or something more sinister? Cheers turoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks90 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 normally happens the other way round - floor it and it squeals. That would indicate an exhaust manifold problem. but as it squeels when you arent hoofing it and goes when it does boost up.... strange.

Guest noggy Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 check your prop UJ's as they are a source of a lot of strange noises on LR's. mine were knackered and ive replaced them, and i have got rid of my squealing noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggie Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have a similar problem, I only need to touch the accelarator and i get a sort of "farting" sound. Thats the best I can describe it. By tapping the accelarator you could play a tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFILandRover Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 I pulled the heat shield off to find the manifold leaking around no3 cylinder and a broken stud on #1, so I guess its time for new studs and gasket then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommeke Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Yes it is, also worth checking if your manifold hasn't warped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFILandRover Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 I thought id better update this. Pulled manifold and had to helicoil out one hole. Manifold was warped by about 3mm so had to mill it flat. But also cleaned inlet manifold and my dad made an egr removal bits. She seems to honk along a lil better than before. But the best part is I dont have to deal with the squealing anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
