new to me 4.4, new sounds & issues, could do with opinio | |
Hi guys
So I've run a Disco 3 for 5 years. I did a lot to it and all the big and small jobs were done. I'm now on a 130k mile Westminster and I'm finding my way slowly but surely. The Wiki has been great and the search is your friend if you have a bit of time to filter.
So I have two small issues and Id like an opinion:
1) Air Warble passenger side airbox
I did read a post on this but no solutions or reasons. So on my passenger side air intake there is a warble sound that comes and goes. At first I thought there was a leaf flapping around but after checking the airbox and pipes I cannot see anything causing it. My next job is to remove the rubber grommet on the wing and see if something is living in there!
2) Coolant moving down on revs
So this one was a stressful one. I replaced the oil cooler and filter housing and turbo return o rings. All went well and I took it for a short test spin, no issue. Then I went on a 40m minute drive, saw low coolant and pulled over. I had left a retaining clip off a hose and it popped expelling a large amount of coolant. I spent the next 4 hours topping up the coolant, running the heating and idling to get the 7-8 litres back into the system.
I made the 40 minute drive home and there was no coolant warning or over heating, great! Then I noticed on cold, my levels were good. We started it up and idled for 10 mins, then on revving the coolant level would drop 4 inches. This is a new one to me. Is it that the system hasn't fully bled and there is a vacuum somewhere, does this fix itself or do I need to investigate?
3) oil still dripping
I don't think this is an issue but after replacing the oil cooler and seals I still have oil on the cardboard under the car. Would it just take a week or so for all old residue to find its way to the bottom or has anyone ever had a leak after oil cooler change.
Apologies I know I am asking a lot here but so far you have made this purchase far easier but I cannot say this isn't stressing me out. This is the most expensive car I have ever bought and I do doubt myself from time to time. you guys have been an inspiration and I cannot thank you enough.
