Title: Another "tick"
Post by: Thrasher on August 05, 2003, 19:08:34

Rev related again. The belt tensioner is working hard by the looks of it, so I know one of the twirly bits is sticking. Have had a long screwdriver on all - the alternator is whining (so I suspect that first), but there is a tick coming from somewhere and I can't place it!

I've listened to the sump - quiet
rockers - quiet
plenum - quiet
g/box - quiet

the sound can be heard from under the vehicle or right in front, but not loudly from either side.....

I'll book it into somewhere I think ..... <gloom>

Hi Neil,

Perhaps Hartwells are getting their own back  :wink:  and one night while you were tucked up in bed they sent someone round to hide something in your motor :twisted:

Colin.

you're assuming that they would be able to spot piglet in a parade?  more likely he'll find they've poured sugar into his rabbit hutch....
