2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Zermatt Silver

Puma Question

Hi all.

Got my Defender 110 CSW a couple of weeks ago and overaul very pleased with it.

I have noticed when on tick over it sounds like there is something rattling in the inlet duct on the wing which disapears when revved up. Is this normal?
Also, most of the time when travelling along there is the normal diesel knock sound but, there is also a loud rattling sound simular to a petrol with pre ignition (pinking).
There is a very long steep hill near where I live and after driving up the hill the rattling sound is no longer present and doesn't reappear for a couple of miles after. The engine is much quieter without the rattle and was wondering, again is this normal or could there be a fault?
Thanks in advance..........TC.

Its easy to smile and be happy when the world rolls along like a song.
But a mans got style if he can smile when his Land rovers going wrong.

Sounds a bit like mine before Yeovil LR did the software upgrade before christmas - apart from the first bit about the inlet duct.

More than happy for you to come and have a drive in mine to compare - if that would help.

I am between Taunton and Ilminster.

my intake used to make that noise as do most of the new ones i have come across - it seems to go with time, as the bit probably wears through and falls off!

Are you into greenlaning? you should come out to play with us, quite a few Taunton way on here. Cheers

Hi JST.
Thanks for the info, will check a few things suggested tomorrow, if no good will wait for whatever it is to fall off

Haven't done any green laning as yet, but definately interested in having a play.

Cheers.............TC. Its easy to smile and be happy when the world rolls along like a song.
