Metallic rattle/sound under acceleration

oliver clegg · Nov 18, 2022

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help, I e just got a LR FL 2 and all good drives superb but I have a really annoying metallic rattle under acceleration more so when going up hills, just like a thin metal plate rattling on something, I just hope it’s not more sinister ? Has anyone experienced this or know what this could be.
Thanks
Oliver

Check the exhaust heat shields, the one between the rear silencer and boot floor often breaks loose from its large nuts, and floos onto the silencer making a rattle sound.
It's easily fixed with some large washer between the nuts and heat shield.
It it's not the rear heat shield, then check all of them under the vehicle, as they can all come adrift in the same manner.

Also check the turbo discharge pipe, It has a welded bracket that failed on mine causing an annoying rattle. A local engineering firm welded it up for me FOC.
