just purchased my first disco, a 2000 SE, perfectly maintained, and in great condition... one thing however concerns me, the "tic tic tic" of the lifters (or at least i assume it's my lifters) the dealership said it's a landrover thing, and indeed, many of the certified pre-owned discos "tic"'ed.••••••• advice? also, where, aside from this great site, can i find good beginners info on disco's and using them for what they are designed to do? I never off roaded before, and I would like to, along with modding my disco, and keeping it alive forever. | ||

BTW, the tic is very very faint, but i definately would say that it is a valve noise. i had several audis before, and they all tic'ed, and nothing was wrong with them.... | ||

Discos do have valve tic issues. If you search the discussion archives you'll be able to find which model years had what symptoms. My DII has a ticking sound, which was identified by a dealer mechanic as the vapor handling system's valve. Evidently the fuel system has a collector for fuel vapors, which it feeds into the engine after it's warmed up a bit, and the valve to do this ticks. | ||

Oh yes, that's a normal noise. It's like being in the engine room of a u-boat or something. | ||

Join your local club! Hopefully someone will be nice enough to teach you the ins and outs of off-roading. You could also go to a LR driving school... $$$, but a great experience. |
