Picking up on something which cropped up in a recent thread -
How many 3.7L Roadster owners are experiencing the death rattle from the engine at around 3000rpm? Has anyone had a satisfactory explanation for this other than "they all do it sir"? Is this another area where the ECU supplied as O/E is not doing what is required since there is apparently a timing change at that RPM? The engine is clearly in a distressed state when this happens.
In my case I have the rattle. In addition, on occasions the spanner light on the dash illuminates and the car starts on 3 cylinders. On other occasions the spanner illuminates and the car goes into limp home mode for no apparent reason. This happened recently when I was joining fast moving traffic on a dual carriageway and it was downright dangerous. I am beginning to seriously question whether my car is "fit for the purpose for which it was intended", especially since the dealer has indicated that a suitable ECU will cost me £1700 on top of the +£53K I paid for the car 8 months ago!
Anyone care to comment?
