Have a 99 Disco II, I have been hearing a clanking metal noise at idle any ideas on this?? Thanks any info would be appreciated on this....

 

bottom end,top end?can you record the noise

 

Better yet, be a lot more specific, when does this happen, hot or cold and get under the vehicle and listen for it so we can have a better idea what is wrong.

 

Sorry for the lake of info. I would say it does not matter if hot or cold, Sounds like a pulley type noise like a tinging noise at idle. Sounds like it coming from the front where the serpentine belt is. Almost sounds like someone is tinging a little bell ting ting, Not loud just annoying, Its more a tinging noise than anything else I would say...

 

Remove the belt and then start the engine, does the noise go away?
Yes?
Shut off the engine and then start spinning pulleys by hand until you find the culprit.
