Clearly I'm the only one that thinks something's rubbing on the cam belt cover....?


If its was tensioner pulley related the noise would be twice or even three times quicker, no?
It is the tensioner pulley I've ruled it out to be that but will be 100% sure soon enough  :y
Ruled out? In what way..? :)

I have had two fail and it's very annoying. The bearings seize, the plastic pulley melts and the belts get shredded. No water pump, no alternator, catch bus home. It demonstrates the wisdom of changing the cam belt pulleys every 40000 miles. They are cheap - about £20 from memory.

Weather too bad so far to grease the pulley.

Looks like Slaters have signed up to TC then last time I asked they had no Idea what autobarnstormers tc discount where. I'll look into it when I have time. Thanks  :y

Typical this weather would be raining and windy  :(

They won't know what Autobahnstormers TC is, as there is no such think.

With ABS you get a card that has a TC account number on it (on a sticker in ABS's case). They just need to set up that TC number on their systems (if somebody else hasn't already). I believe ABS give you the number of their TC account rep for the dealer to call if they need to verify its legit.

While it's off, stick a bit of grease under the dust seal ...... it won't mend it, but it'll help till you manage to get a new one  :y
