Loud noise when i switch off engine???

int there a small pumpy thing that extracts fuel fumes back to the tank? and if yer post a piccy we'd know yer wur a wumum and treat yer as such.
i.e. all patronising and what have yer

cept if yu is blonde

reet - useful tip - if yu take it to a stealer to get it sorted it is gonna cost yu an arm an a leg - so keep an ear on it an if it dont get worse - live with it till it wont go - then get it fixed - it will still cost yu a second mortgage, but yu wont have to donate any organs to try and identify it.

secondly - if yu read between the lines above..... - wimmin is good at that - int they? the best advice we could give yu is DONT BUY A PETROL FREELANDER and if yu all ready got one SELL IT AND GET A TD4, or expect very large bills!

Come back chezzar, we'll try and diagnose your fan noise problem for you.

Whats interesting is the comments you have received are from peeps who dont even own a 1.8

I have offered to help, its kind of hard to hear and diagnose a noise from far far away

I dont know? I need some more clues from the lady in question.

cummon NI - as yu so succinctly put it, a description like " it makes a horrible noise when I turn it orf" is almost impossible to diagnose remotely.

is it every time you turn it off or just after driving for a few miles? how long does the noise last for?

reet. next time it happens, pop the bonnet, and have a look just behind the radiator, making sure to keep hands and fingers clear (especially childrens). You will probably find the two fans going like the clappers.

Try restarting the engine, letting it idle for a min, then turn it off.

Do you get any warning lights while this is going on ?

check coolant ,check thermostat, check expansion tank for gunge,try running with heater on full see if it still runs the fans or maybe its just the landrover electric gremlins playing with the relays

Dont be so smug Andytd4 , the Td4 engine has an aluminium head, same stuff in the 1.8 k-series and yes even the Td4's have been known to blow gaskets. Even the RR 4litre HSE has had blown gaskets and associated leaks

Is that your MINI2 in the avatar? Guess what.......... there are some reports of hgf in them as well.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news


as they say in Dads Army.............'We're all doomed!'

K-seal is only a temp fix to get you home. Long gone are the days when I threw an egg into the rad of an A-series engine in a mini.

Cowboy mechanics also use k-seal and the likes as a permanent fix

It is probably the radiator fan trying to cool down your head gasket before it blows.
