by the way I love all rover and this is the only SUV i would buy

 

If you don't know of a good shop in your area, I would ask around (auto parts store, gas station, friends, etc.)
with vapor out of oil filler tube(especially after warmup), you may have more issues than a sticking lifter.
depending on how much vapor
If you take it in, ask questions and expect answers that you can deal with.
If it were me I'd take it in even if it were to the rover dealer.
I doubt they're the cheapest, but they had better be able to give you a decent diagnosis. (in writing)

let us know- thanx

 

okay

 

Why don't you send me your tele number and I'll call you about this.

The "bottom line" here is that--if-- after using the flushing agents described , the lifter noise does not go away, then you have a rocker arm and/or rocker shaft problem, which is not uncommon on these engines (especially if they were not serviced properly). If the noise persists, have a shop connect a mechanical oil pressure gage (on the front timing cover --after removing the oil pressure sending unit) and verify the pressure is up to spec. If so -- then you are probably looking at valve-train repairs. Ifa valve(s) is sticking in the cylinder head (another known problem area) it will cause a engine mis-fire and usually illuminate the Check Engine Light (CEL)when the computer stores a number of sequential misfires.

I had a similar issue with an older RR a few years ago and I used two bottles of Lucas oil treatment with each oil change in addition to the de-sludge and that seemed to help as well.

Good Luck
