Hi All,

I have a question some of you may of have a theory for, I hope so because I dont.

When I have the Rover in P (Park) and I rev the engine it is super quiet and I mean like a new Rover quiet, as soon as I move the auto stick to P the engine noise changes tone to a noisy level and whether I am moving forward or not the engine sounds like something small is rattling.

Hard to describe but just wanted to see what the forums users thoughts are on this.

Thanks,
Csharper

Thanks for the reply, I really need to upload a sound snippet to give more information I will try to do it tonight or tomorrow

Have you checked for loose heat shields ? Do you get a judder threw the car on light acceleration if so could be the torque converter. A few people have described hearing a rattle on the D3 site under similar conditions to what your describing.. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
2009 TDCi 90 current
2018 Discovery 5 HSE lux current
1994 Dakar current

What engine do you have? MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Hi its the 2.7TD v6

Have you the car long, has it just started doing this ? 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
2009 TDCi 90 current
2018 Discovery 5 HSE lux current
1994 Dakar current

Well, the revs will sit down a touch when you put it in "D", could be a vibration-induced resonance somewhere - heatshields as mentioned is a good place to start I suppose. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.
