Got the new O2 upstreams installed, a freshly charged battery, and it has sounded like this ever since I pressure washed it. No, I haven't driven it since I pressure washed it, too afraid. (I hope the link works)

 

Welllll that didn't work.....

 

 

A rattle, seems to be from the passenger side engine bay. I can't figure out how to get the video from my tablet to post b/c I have to log in from it and I can't remember my password.

 

Well, forget about the video. My husband came home and listened, tried to figure out the cause, when is stopped. Apparently after running 5 min it stops. It is 1 qt low on oil, and I am changing it tomorrow anyway. No codes, no aladdins lamp.

 

Changing the oil made no difference. I am doing the PVC conversion, but tonight I started it and squirted watery dish soap on the exhaust manifold gaskets and found that the pipe to maniflold gasket is leaking. The manifold to head gaskets are not leaking. Should I leave well enough alone and just change the gasket on the pipes, or go for it and change the gasket at the head/manifold also?
Another thing, the pipe to manifold gasket fits a 2000 Honda Civic, Walker 31646. The purge valve is from a Honda Civic. The PVC conversion valve is from a Honda Civic. The O2 sensors from a Honda Civic look like they would work. I wonder if there was a former engineer from Honda working for Land Rover....

 

Land Rover and Honda did indeed have partnership in the mid to late 90s.

Wonder if they and Rover worked on the L318 D2 and did not extend the partnership when BMW took over.

 

 

I Googled it, that's exactly what happened.
