hi i have a 94 disco 300tdi, last year i had new cam belts tensioners , pullys etc, but still had to use the penny trick to get rid of the birds from the engine, now its back again what can i do to get rid again, now the penny trick isn't working ?
please help :confused:
 
check yer front prop ujs, alternater bearings power steering pump, water pump, etc
 
I reckon some belts squeak, some don't .. dunno which do or don't though .. When mine squeaked I used graphite powder on it, same as you use on normal door locks, and it worked a treat till it got washed off. Since changing belts it hasn't happened again .. and that's including a year or so on SORN .. ;)

Yu daft pollock :eek:. Yu don't want to lubricate the belt - yu want it to grip :doh: - get some belt dressing :eek:.
 
Take out the penny and wedge in a quid :D

Nah seriously though you want to replace the tensioner pulley.
Also, take off the belt and check all the pulleys to make sure they spin true (not wobbling back to front or side to side)
 
Sometimes yu wonder:( when yu hear of peeps using wd40!!!

Why do yu think alternators squeal after yu been thru a ford?
