Knocking sound! - Land Rovers Only

DelChi · 08-20-2007, 03:00 PM

Good afternoon! I have a question for the expert out there

My wife 02 Dico is making a knocking noise. Does anyone know what may cause this problem? FYI! We only use 93 octane and I do the oil change myself using the manufacture filter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

DelChi, im going to move this thread into the Discovery Series II board for you so that more people may see it and maybe help figure out the problem.

DelChi · 08-20-2007, 03:10 PM

Thank you very much brother!

When do you hear the knocking sound, hot, cold, when first starting?
I would not continue to drive it without having a mechanic look at it.
How many miles on the engine, how often do you do oil changes?
It would be a good idea to have a mechanic check your oil pressure, at idle as well as at 2000 RPM's, both when cold and at operating temp.

Thanks Mike for replying! Actually, 10, 15 min. after starting the truck you start hearing the knocking noise. The engine has 75,000 miles on it. I do oil change every 3,000 miles. You mention "oil pressure" do you know how I can check that myself?

Is your oil light coming on at all? Do you see it light up when you start your engine, this should ensure that you bulb is good.

DelChi · 08-21-2007, 06:28 AM

My oil light doesn't come on at all.

Disco Mike · 08-21-2007, 06:31 AM

Does it come on when you turn your key to the 2nd. position,
Mike

DelChi · 08-21-2007, 06:41 AM

Yes! It comes on when I turn the key to the 2nd position and goes off when i start the truck. That's a good sign, right?

Disco Mike · 08-21-2007, 07:17 AM

Good sign
I sent you a PM.
Mike

Relax Fellas! I am sorry for not going into details

Basically, I heard a knocking noise from my 02 Disco engine and Mike advised me to flush the engine, which I did. Now, the noise is almost gone.
