Title: whatsapp video
Post by: Andy B on 30 March 2015, 23:42:41
My daughter sent me a video this morning via Whatsapp to show me the noise her car sometimes makes. It only does it after a lay up of a few days but only lasts a minute or so at the most. It's sounds like a dry bearing somewhere ...... but obviously without the car in front of me to look at I can only guess.
I've no idea how to go about loading it from my phone to get it to here via a link for your opinions

My Misses Ford Focus sounded a bit like that when the water pump was on its last legs  :-\ :-\ :-\

As said above it could well be water pump.
My SWMBO's Kuga sounded similar and we had timing belt & water pump changed at same time. :'(
Belt was due a change, so I couldn't be entirely sure it wasn't that.
The only way I could describe it was like an 'electric motor' type of noise. 8)
Good luck!

Thanks both of you for the suggestions.  :y

I just need to get the car at a time when we're both off work ...... and it's not piddling down.    :-\
