Hi all picked up my freelander 2 last week its great not new on a 57 plate 18500 miles on the clock 2.2 td4, very pleased with it in everyway but for what i can only describe as a rattle or pinking but only when the car is in high gear under pressure. Its just like the timings gone out that pinking that you get untill the car picks up , can anyone take a stab at what it is, should i take it to LR and get it checked would be greatful of some help jeff:confused:
 
if it's still under warrenty i would be straight back round with it, just for fun:D
get it all sorted now before you have to start paying for it all:rolleyes:

Sounds like an injection timing sort of issue which could be damaging the engine long term, there may be a straightforward re-programming fix but I would have it checked out by LR ASAP and then confront the supplier for recompense. D..
 
If you drop a gear and let the engine rev a bit more freely, does the noise stop??
Yes drop down the gears or as soon as its picked up its as sweet as a nut .At the
moment i am abit between garages i got the car from knutsford in cheshire and i live in shropshire so its a bit of a drive and time off work to get their. so i want to get the car linked to shukers in shewsbury , dont know if i can just get it checked on warrenty in shewsbury untill i get the go a head off LR jeff
