noise upon start-up

[Mcb14230]

I bought my 2016 LR4 one week ago. This started upon start up today.. it goes away and i have good oil pressure and temp is perfect. it sounds like the fan is hitting something or a pulley is going bad.. but the sound goes away after a minute or two.

I was hoping for ideas or thoughts prior to LR looking at it.

Sounds like a card in the spokes.

i suspected that but it may be the banana in the tailpipe

Could be something in the exhaust manifold or beyond rattling away until it heats up. Too much to speculate on...

I know it is not timing chain or clutch fan!

Its at the dealer in Austin as we speak. They are a great team and will sort it out. Once I know what it is I will repost for all.

I have a 2005 LR3 that does the same thing. Every morning and if it sits for more than 3 or 4 hours it does that but only for 30 seconds max. The day I test drove it and bought it and it didn't do it. The next day and every day since it has. I've had it almost a year now. I was told what it was by a friend but was also told not to worry about it unless it was louder and lasted longer. I would love to know what the dealer tells you.

OK, i wanted to update everyone who may have checked in on this. As i suspected it was a bad pulley. Land Rover of Austin was great and i suspect it was because my Sales Rep was awesome. Fixed for Free last week and i was given a new Jag Sedan as a loaner. LR4 is back home and running great. That service will keep me buying Rovers.
