    2010 V8 tinny rattle under acceleration

    Ha! Never guess what it was. The pipe coming rearward out of the middle muffler has a flange on it where it goes it to a flex pipe. The flange had rusted through leaving a loose metal ring encircling the pipe. On acceleration it was bouncing around. I snapped it off using pliers. Annoying rattle...

    2010 V8 tinny rattle under acceleration

    So, recently my 2010 V8 with 210k km had developed a tinny rattle sound mainly evident under acceleration. It sounds like a rotor dust shield rubbing, or a loose heat shield. I wondered about exhaust muffler baffles being loose, but no noise when revving in neutral. I haven't had a chance to...

    Front d/s brake sticking

    Was your caliper piston siezed, or just not as free sliding as it should be? Nothing overtly odd about the caliper piston per se I.e. retracts fine to put new pads on

    Front d/s brake sticking

    Huh, yes, killing the wheel bearing is a concern too. I had sticking pins on the rear. Resulted in crazy uneven pad wear but now remedied. Yes, i have ceramic pads too, so in theory should be less dirty

    Front d/s brake sticking

    It retracted when I last changed pads, so not overtly siezed?

    Front d/s brake sticking

    So........for the past little while the d/s front Alloy has been filthy while the passenger one remains shiny and clean. I figured dragging brake obvs. Last pad change I explored and the wheel turns okay. Slider pins well lubricated. No uneven wear on anything. Still dragging. Potential causes...

    Engine oil leak?

    So mammoth session replacing the radiator hoses and coolant today working on the street. Oh joy. While underneath the left hand front corner to disconnect the radiator bottom hose I noticed a non trivial leak of what I thought was engine oil from an area above the pulley above the alternator...

    Upgrade or keep 2010 V8?

    Hey guys, appreciate all your thoughtful comments. Talked it over with my mechanic. He was somewhat down on the sc V6 re. Coolant leaks (V8 not immune to that too) and refinement. He told me it's a V8 which they blanked two cylinders off? Weird! A 2017 RR sport turbo diesel caught my eye, but...

    Upgrade or keep 2010 V8?

    So, have owned our 2010 since 2018. Bought it at 106k km and have put 100k km on it since then. It has never stranded us. Love driving it and the versatility of loading the back up with home reno supplies, dogs etc. Have done the usual repairs as parts wear out. Last couple of years not many...

    Intermittent clicking sound at idle 5.0L V8

    Sounds like I am in good company. Waiting for the replacement idler pulley to come in on Tues. Also looking g at coolant hose replacement as PM. It's about time. NOT looking to do timing chains :)

    Intermittent clicking sound at idle 5.0L V8

    Problem solved. The belt tensioner pulley wheel bearing detonated. New belt tensioner installed. Replacing the smaller idler pulley too as PM. Good thing at 205k km as after I took it off I found it's bearings are rough and noisy (other idler pulley replaced after it detonated last year). Got...

    Intermittent clicking sound at idle 5.0L V8

    Progress.....well sort of. Drove 5 mins to pick up takeout and when I restarted the engine I lost power steering and alternator charging. Limped home and had a look. The 2k km old serpentine belt has come off, so I am guessing either an idler pulley (replaced one 2k km ago) or the ps pump pulley...

    Intermittent clicking sound at idle 5.0L V8

    Guys, Many thanks for your assorted responses. Much appreciated! Obvs been a week or two and weather too crappy to investigate further. In that time did a 600 mile road trip. The engine is now sounding downright 'clattery'. Seems a bit louder on drivers side (LHD). Link to a video below. Any...

    Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?

    I used AC Delco dex-cool compatible dye. Yes, head gasket leak has occurred to me. Checked for white smoke - none. No mayo on oil cap either. Weather crappy at present so no chance to try and ID leak source. Note that the fan does have a slight wobble. Does that sound normal, or water pump going...

    Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?

    Didn't overfill the reservoir. I suspect air in system re. Leak. Coolant has been changed within past 4yrs

    Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?

    Yes, coolant system work done 4yrs ago. I am not so concerned about the extra coolant per se. It's more the erratic behaviour. Yes, opened reservoir cap and the hose remained collapsed. It can't be extra coolant as the level was normal during two days of driving. Seems like a big air bubble in...

    Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?

    2010, V8, 205k km. Water pump and crossover pipes changed at 160k km. Original hoses. So, checked the coolant level last week and it was down to the base of the reservoir. No obvs sign of leaks. Topped it up, drove for 5hrs and no coolant loss. Added UV dye, and have pressure tester to try and...

    Intermittent clicking sound at idle 5.0L V8

    Ah that's a thought. I did read about worn motor mounts and the fan shroud elsewhere. The noise is odd in that it doesn't always have a steady rhythm. If it was mechanical and engine related it would. I will investigate further! Is there an easy way to confirm if the motor mounts are worn? I...

    Intermittent clicking sound at idle 5.0L V8

    My 2010 LR4 V8 205k km has been a paragon of reliability the past little while. Today I noticed a clicking-type noise with the hood open at idle. It's intermittent. Revved engine and it went away temporarily. Link to recording below. Seems to be coming from the top of the engine towards the...
