Drove it, looked at it and thought it needs a clean and realised that I need to get the stone chip fixed ASAP. Also thought I should do an Oil and filter change soon ::)
Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Turns out they aren't that expensive IIRC?

Wonder why your (presumably motor) keeps failing?  That said, I can't vouch for that old one, it was 2nd hand when I got it, had it in the MV6 for about 3yrs before the annoyance with the faulty gearbox (rasping when closing) eventually got the better of me.  And I use it a lot. It really annoys people following ::)

I noticed yesterday, after coincidentally leaving it up all night, that it clicked after retracting. It went up fine, went down fine, just clicked about a second after it re seated.

A couple of uses with just a click, it then clicked constantly for about 2 seconds until mechanical sympathy maid me put it back up again, and the click stopped. It's stayed up since.

This one came from the Chav, and it was failed when I got it.

Wasn't that the one we changed the motor in last year? ;)

Is it a relay click, or a rasping noise?

Yep. It's mechanical. Rasping. Clickclickclickclick.

'Morticia' is at RGS Motors in Langley Mill, she's having an engine service, front anti roll bar link and they're also gonna investigate why I'm getting so much tyre noise from my new (partworn) OSF tyre.

Unfortunately they've confirmed the main oil seal has gone, which explains the drips of oil I've seen from under where the gearbox meets the engine  :(

More bloody expense.............   ::)
