Hi
Hope someone can help. Got a 2011 Defender 90 with 2.4 Duotorq engine with 140,000 km on it. Always ran perfect then whilst driving back on motorway about 3 months ago my engine suddenly developed a rattle. Oil light came on very briefly then went off. Car performance was never affected and as in remote location I had to drive 200km home on it. Car still has same pull power as before, starts on the button. I later changed oil and all was good with no metal and I have never had a no loss of coulant and it doesnt overheat.
Took the car 3 months ago to garage (non LR) and he has flushed engine, then replaced injectors and part-stripped down to see if seats are still properly set but despite all the above it hasnt stopped the knocking. I live in S. France so communication a little hard between mechanic and I but he has had car 3 months now and I think he has ran out of ideas.
Is there anyone else who had same engine knock. I attach a video of knocking.
Thanks in advance Nigel
 
I'd get an oil pressure check done. I've come across big end shells moving in some Ford engines, so that might be worth investigating.
