So, a very obvious but not loud rattling coming from beneath in every gear at low revs. Sounds like something needs tightening up but I've had a look and everything seems good. Couple of months ago it had a full new exhaust so maybe it's that, internally?

What do you lot think? And if it is pinking what's the cure and how much!?

Pinking or rattling?? Completely different, can anyone teleport to Cooters and have a listen. Exhaust is favourite.

if it has pre ignition it will cause the eggsauce to rattle

check your plugs then report back

Teleporting would be handy! Actually I must admit I only said pinking because a mechaniccy mate said it may be that. Is he as clueless as me!!

Don't forget I was the bloke to have 10 pages of info on thermostats!

pre ignition = fuel being burnt just before it should do in the cylinder

take the plugs out (one by one) and check what they look like

Exhaust heat shield gets my guess.

Pinking - how apt for a Freelander :hysterically_laughi

Ok, excellent, cheers for that. For once that sounds like a cheapish cure. I'll have a look at them in the morning, but what am I looking for?

sadly this isn't the cure

just diagnosing
you are looking for burnt black and corroded plugs

 

[Freelaner]

Exhaust heat shield gets my guess.

if your plugs are ok, it's the above and got nowt to do with pinking.

mine has this rattle

 

[Cooter]

Oh, well I'm hoping it's the exhaust shield thing now!

It's also got a fsh with recently changed plugs etc so...........

there should be an exhaust bracket that fixes to the rear of diff hsg, on an old exhaust it tends to break and rattle, perhaps on a new one its come loose.

The cat can rattle too.

 

[Cooter]

Ok, so I've had the whole front exhaust/cat replaced today and still the same bloody rattle! It's going back in Monday for another check over on the ramps.
