When I first got it, the sound didn't seem to be there but over the last few months have noticed it more. Had a defender 90 300tdi before which had a stunning engine ( always perfect ) Wouldn't of thought it could be the swirl flaps as they come out awhile back when we did the glow plugs, and all looked normal ![]() Steve, cant be an injector as they not long ago got reconditioned and tested perfect ![]() Might take off the engine cover and stick the gopro under the bonnet for a drive to see if it picks up the noise or something, should do as I can hear it in the cab ( sometimes it is worse than others though which is making me think valve / lifter ) Anyone think that the lifter cleaner stuff might hurt anything or should be fine to use in the td4? I do wonder if I should do an engine flush and new filter new oil first as tbh I havnt a clue when it was last done ( the service it was ment to have when I got it probs wasn't even done ![]() |

using an oil flush or lifter cleaner shouldn't worry your engine as long as you get the oil changed afterwards,

Offshore, I have had the same concern over mine. I think its more pronounced due to the colder climate we are enjoying, this is my first winter with the Freely, so I'm on a constant learning/fearing all 'new' noises. Once warm, it's seems fine.

Some say that adding a little 2-stroke oil makes it quieter |
