Urgent Help PLEASE...Very Worried!!!
Eeyore:
If nowt else, give Andys Landys a call in Cov - (he's just by Morrisons on the A46 - 024 7644 4041) and ask them to have a listen. It doesn't sound like a tappet (that squeaking intrigues me), but i'm happy to be corrected on that.
Has anything recently changed do you know (parts, oils etc)?
Good luck and keep us informed!
Cheers

A tappet noise would come from the top of the engine wouldn't it? though at that mileage it's worth looking at them anyway. Also check the condition of the engine mounts, it could be the fan catching if the mounts have sagged, this would explain why it comes and goes with the throttle.

im not sure when things were changed, the receipts etc i got with the car dnt have any for last service etc, the plugs look newish tho. ive called a few places and being told to :
drop the old oil, add flush for 30 mins, drop that out, change oil filter, then put new oil in and additive and see what happens for a couple of days, thing is with me working til 5 every night who's gonna do this for me.
i can get all the above tonight and is this an easy job which i can do myself? not too handy with cars unless they rs turbo's or impreza's.
with the noise like that am i stil safe driving the car around?
Range Rover Blues:
It's easy but I always make a mess. You need a container that can catch about 10 litres. not that there's quite that much in there. Drain plug is on LHS of sump, behind the axle, filter alongside steering box.
You will need about 5 litres of flushing oil to get oil pressure back up and be caeful as you might move some sludge around from a safe place to somewhere you wouldn't want it.
Have a look into the oil filler, is it full of black gunge?
VeryRandyRange:
what happens if i just put the additive on top of the oil in there now, basically not changing anything, just topping it up?
