    Ticking noise V8i when warm

    My 98 Disco v8 has started to make a ticking noise but only when warm. I can't tell if it's coming from the engine or the exhaust / cat area. It increases / decreases with revs but is only really noticeable at tickover. Engine runs fine its just a noise and only when fully warmed up. Oil...

    lpg set up / tuning BRC

    Hi no not as far as i know. Plugs are new i have had it 'pluged in' and diagnostic checked.

No such luck new sensor has made...

    V8i Pinging but timing ok??

    had another look and i think the exhaust manifold gasket is blowing slightly on the near side bank which would cause the noise i'm sure but why would the noise be reduced if i retard the timing??

    V8i Pinging but timing ok??

    maybe some more info would help the overall diagnosis. I'm also only geting about 7 mpg round town and 9 on a run. I don't think it is pulling very well. We'll not like a V8 Engine runs sweet at idle and does missfire at all. Runs same on petrol or gas. Noise only occurs when under load, if...
