| Sounds like an injector issue. Ask your dealer to do an injector "re-learn". They basically reset the injectors. |

| Just rebuilt my 2009 2.4 and had a similar issue - a change of injectors cured the problem. |

| Thanks for the tips. The only one I was capable of doing was the "soft reset" which, unfortunately, didn't work. |

| What about stuffed injectors? They would certainly cause a knock, although I'm not mechanically-minded enough to explain why faulty injectors would lead to an increase in oil consumption. |

| Looks very similar to what I get when I drain of a bit of diesel from my fuel filter. I have been told it's algae, but hopefully someone else can confirm / refute that. |

Mark, which dealer?
Have you tried Paul Close at The Centre? 031-3378521, he's way more clued up on Defenders than the dealers are. |
