New to me LWB. Runs, drives, shifts well, very quiet and smooth. Oil level is fine, not sure what weight it is though. Been driving it for two weeks.
Two days ago it just suddenly is making this ticking sound I can hear from inside, and very distinctly outside. It started after I drove to work and pulled into the lot. Nothing out of sorts.
Started and drove home, no problem. My commute is about 6 miles, it gets to full running temp. The noise isn't there on start up. Seems to only come after it has warmed. It will also go away on its own.
I caught it making the noise at home and took a careful listen. It is coming from the rear of the engine, passenger side, probably near the exhaust manifold. Tomorrow I will run compression test and inspect the plugs and top of the piston(s). Not sure what else to do.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
I currently have two other Rovers.... but I just sold the Disco that never gave me any problems for like 5 years. The 110 is pulled apart down to the frame. And the Series is in the garage.... also with a mysterious knocking in the engine.... I was hoping this truck would get me through the next few months till the 110 is back up and running.
