freelander rattle...help! - Land Rovers Only

garycarrot · 01-28-2005, 08:46 AM

I have a 98 freelander. Love it to bits, but it has a "rattle", which is driving me nuts.

First point, I am not a petrol head, so please speak english.
Second point, Skint so no "send it to the dealer" replies.

The rattle only come's in at 2000 revs, and goes again at 2500 revs. Sounds like its in the front passenger side, in the engine compartment. Sounds like a vibration type thingy!!!

Any common rattles??? or advice???

Everything looks ok, nothing visably lose.

Thanks.

Is it only while moving or stationary? Have you tried having someone sit in and rev till the rattle appears so you can investigate? sounds obvious i know but its the only way your likely to find it.

Just in front of the battery is an intake trumpet for the induction of air for the engine
This goes in to a resonation box under the wing, the trumpet can be slightly out of position this will cause the noise. If you look closely the trumpet will be touching a part of the vehicle move it a little and the noise will go.
