When my Disco is cold or it is cold out and I first start her up, the engine makes a clicking noise until it is warmed up. Is it the valves? Any suggestions. I am due for service soon but not yet. It seems louder the colder it is outside. Thanks for you input. |

Mine does that too. I asked the local dealership about it last time I took it in, but they said it was normal.
I doubt it's normal, but my symptoms mimic yours exactly. 2001 D2 |

Mine is also a 2001 DII. The mechanic that replaced my brake pads said I have a bad pulley and the dealer should replace it. I have not been to the dealer yet but the only sound I notice is this cold start click. |

My mechanic said is was the fuel vapor burner valve. This noise is very hard to hear however, so it might not be the problem you're talking about. |

I reckon its the catalytic convertor ticking. Mine does it too - 02 DII. |

Mine is definitely not the catalytic converter ticking...
It really sounds like valves to me. A while back there was a lot of discussion about bad valves on the D2 motors, but I didn't delve very far into the discussion... |

Guys, its rocker arms. This is done very often at my dealership. Tell your dealership to contact LRNA. There is even a newer style rocker arm out for about 1 year to stop this. They just don't to do it because it doesn't pay that well under warranty,I assume. We do this repair at least once every 2 weeks.
Cheers

Thanks for the tip.
I will take it up with the local dealership.
I hate the fact that they will go as far to tell me that it's normal.
Do you have a service bulletin that I can refer them to?
How about the new style rocker arm? Would this be a warranty issue? |

I have an ACE component, so it's always noisy at startups. I can never tell if there's any new noises - ACE seems to be the dominant factor. |

My 96 Discovery started "ticking" this winter and just last week, a cylinder sleeve dropped cracking the block and rendering the vehicle useless, and of NO monetary value!!!!!!
A new engine is now required at a cost of $8,500 not including labor.
I never drove my Discovery hard, never missed oil changes, always used 93 or higher octane gasoline and this is what happens?
I'm not trying to flame Land Rover, but my god they have an awful product. I'm reading these postings and wondering why the hell ANYONE in their right mind would buy a Land Rover?
Had I seen these postings 2 years ago I would never have bought this car.
Good luck w/ the ticking noises, hopefully it's "just nothing".

Talked with my dealer yesterday. It is the Rocker Arms. They said no problem drop it off and it is fixed under warranty. Apparently one of those common quirks that you hope to catch in warranty. Joe knows his stuff. |

The rocker bulletin.
Joe, Question for you...Andy says a sleeve slid down and ate his motor. Are LR motors sleeved from the factory ? If so, why ? |

Yes, they are sleeved because the blocks are aluminium. The only time i have seen a sleeve move is after a sever overheat at some point but not to say it is impossible under normal conditions. |
