Picked up what I thought was a nice 04 Disco SE until it started the dreaded tick and 3 amigos within the last 1000 miles of my trip upto Michigan from Florida. I bought this truck due to my Subaru being T-Boned :/. Im mechanically inclined just a little nervous with these shifty beasts lol.

I don't know a way to change your username without making a new account.

Welcome aboard though

 

just bought it?

 

Well I have owned it for about a month. I didnt do enough research as it seems. I do enjoy the land rover experience and would love to start off roading. Just not enjoying the tick that showed itself after first oil change. The truck ran smooth just had the 3 amigos when I purchased it.

 

what weight oil did you have installed?

 

I used 10-40 synthetic added slick 50 after the tick

 

i would invest a few more dollars in 15-40 shell rotella conventional oil and a new filter, it my not help but its only about $20 to try it. Your truck was not made to run systhetic oil, people do it. But you truck came with conventional oil.

 

Ok I'll give it a try I'll make a video of the noise today. Also the tick is a hot tick when accelerating it quiets down over 2300rpm and is not noticeable when decelerating the truck

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Well sounds horrible loud as all hell only with warm motor. Here's a video
