Rattle or Vibration. 4.2 turbo.

[Tonks]

Its hard to explain,

But if i take off slow there is a rattle or vibration you can hear but if i speed up a bit it goes away,

Like in the shopping centre carpark where you are going slow in 1st or 2nd its noticeable then,

But if you speed up a bit it goes away.

As i said its hard to explain but any feedback would be helpful,

Cheers

Sounds like it will be your gearbox, very very common in the 4.2s and nothing to be concerned about!

[Tonks]

Winnie,

Thanks for that,

Do you know why ?

Its only got 124 K on it,

And what's the fix,

Cheers,

Tonks.

I'd be concerned if noise coming from gearbox .can you feel anything through the gear stick ???

4.2 turbo what ??

[Tonks]

3D,

Nothing thru the gear stick,

Its a 2004 GU 111 wagon.

Its not loose wheels is it,
They would make a funny noise down low and go away at speed, mine did .I drive same but Auto
you missed National check your nuts day last week. hey

[Tonks]

Does this make more sense,

It has a chadder noise in 1st 2nd 3rd gear at low revs,

But after more revs it goes away.

[Tonks]

3D,

Def not the nuts,

My nuts are fine,

Thanks anyway.

have you check your sway bar link bushes if they are loose or the rubber is missing they will make noise at low revs just the washers on the nuts...I found this on mine after i put my lift in and hadnt done them up tight enough

Just googled 4.2 nissan patrol noisey gearbox, and does seem quite common, and nothing to worry about,

But still not sure.
