Hi everybody, just bought a 05 LR3 with 50k miles on it. I love this truck so far, have had it for 2 weeks. 2 questions that i have so far, if anybody can help me out with those.

1. The fan is really loud at times, when i accelerate the fan kinda mellows down and sounds more normalish? is this normal?

2. I hear a clicking noise coming from the driver side of the engine. It doesnt go away.I uploaded it to youtube.
YouTube- Engine Noise?

Thanks in advance.

*edit*
the sound quality is a lot better if you hit the hd button.

Welcome to the site!

Not sure if the fan noise your hearing is normal - we're talking engine fan here right?

The ticking you hear sounds just like mine. I've been round & round with the dealer on this and they finally told me it was a valve adjustment issue. Great right? We FINALLY found the problem! Go ahead & fix it.... Under warranty of course - they wouldn't do it. The service manager said HE didn't think it was bad enough to do anything about :mad: It's not going to hurt anything, but it sure is annoying.

3rd here on the noise. I actually think it is related to EGR because I've heard it go away and come back. The fan evidently has a clutch on it to boost cooling and AC performance at idle. I've noticed that mine will stay engaged while accelerating at time which makes a pretty good roar.

I've claimed the tick issue no less than 4 times to two different dealers. Both claim it is normal.
