No idea
Just wondering if / how it links into the ecm / calibration The wire seems like it's burnt / wire is brittle? if not a good connection could it affect engine running? |

would you say noise is more like a clatter then a knock , like you would say you would get from a bit of petrol has gone in rather then diesel ( not saying you put petrol in ) , or sprayed bit of easy start in .
and does it do it after starting and running only few minutes ( cold ) and as you change gear |

Yes it does sound like a clatter a d i'm actually starting to wonder if it might be mechanical like the clutch?
There doesn't seem to be any consistency as to when it does / doesn't happen.... When it doesn't happen the engine / transmission is running really really well and as such makes it that much more frustrating (knowing how well it can run).... |

right I asked someone about what I think your noise is
does it do it after sitting few days if so answer hp pump drying out , cure ? fuel running back ? or timing error for split second , cure? heard of one doing much the same , but sorry to say never found cause or cure as it only done it half a dozen times then never again !!!!!! |

No can't say leaving it a few days is likely to cause problem.
But yes to me it's like the timing has gone out of sync......... Never found cure you say......  |

never found cause or cure , it stopped doing it !
think to be honest you maybe better off leaving it with someone to use it and poss found problem , I have had to do this in the past to find problem with customers cars if not doing it all the time , sometimes it's only way I used to take them home with me and drive normally hot , cold , short , long runs etc |

Biggest drive today since having new turbo and.......
I'm thinking the engine might be 'bang on '.......(might  )
....so what part of the transmission causes that characteristic clatter and what causes it to be more or less obvious? |

It's a Land Rover it is bound to make banging and clattering noises.
 Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.
