Post up the Vids and give us some specifics
Is a Scrappy battery man enough?
For just over £20 more you can get yourself a brand new VX go battery with a 3 yr warranty...

No it was making the noises before I got the battery, will take some video's at the begining of the week probably, sound, sounds like a vaccum but that dissapears after 10 mins but the is a noise like a grinding and also a sqeeky fanbelt :(

Last one @ 80,000 now @ 158,000 :-[ will be getting done pretty soon though.

78k on a cambelt kit?
Eeek.. I'd not move the car another inch until it's done!! Do you want a hand? ::)
-
Ooh! I'd do that before driving it any further. Cold well be an idler pulley breaking up :o

We're serious - this could very well be a tensioner failure, 38k overdue is really on thin ice!!
My offer is serious, although not sure about availability...
-
cambelt + tensioner every 40K .. no arguments .. so that one is at DOUBLE its life .. surprised its lasted that long ....living on dangerous ground if you even start it up !!! :(
-
While doing the cam belt, check the condition of the aux belt components as it could also be a dodgy bearing on one of the pullies (may as well change the water pump and coolant while you're there as they will probably be at least as old as the cam belt)

I spoke to someone a while back who thought the intervals were still 80k. His was over due on that too! :o :o There was something like 100k on the original belt & tensioners. :-?

I hope it does ...... he didn't offer me the job! He interviewed me! ;D ;D
It was at a place in Manchester that did ally castings. The reason we got onto Omegas was cos he showed me a casting that they'd had problems casting. It was the ally water pipe that I think lives somewhere in the V of a GM V6! :) They cost pennies to make.

You know the answer to that Liam. Autobahnstormers. £20 to join, well worth it if you fancy doing the job yourself. I have a cambelt DVD if you need it.
