I was hoping my nephew would take it, although a bloke in the pub was asking after the third one last night. I can give it up anytime I like ...

I did try switching the AC off but it didn't do it. Of course, that might mean something but given it is intermittent it is rather hard to say for sure. Been busy all weekend and got stuff to do today as well so it will have to wait another week.

+1. When pulley starts to seize it does the jumping/clanging thing then jumps into action. Until it jams again. Could be belt itself or just one pulley starting to act up, something in there I reckon. Take the ac belt off see if goes away will...

Check the adjuster pulley arm is free to move on it's pivot to correctly tension the belt.

when you first start up the slack is taken up and a noise is heard and then it settles down till either the engine is stopped and moves the damper the other way and will maybee make noise again on staetup. try turning the fan one way or the...

It does sound like the adjuster pulley bearing going. Mark says when it goes it stays gone. This doesn't. Once gone you have no idea where the noise is coming from. The alternator does sound a little noisy with the screwdriver to the head technique.

So, time for quick summary: Harness installed, everything working except wiper / washer, horn and ignition. Reason, most likely, a mixed up wire at the starter motor, and now a broken contact at the starter. New starter should be here end of...

Forget ChatGPT and any AI answers mate, you have an air leak, it's purely mechanical. Get the strut out, fill the bag from your compressor and it should inflate, if air comes out anywhere at all (probably where you expect the O ring has failed)...

Yeah you’re right… strut is out, replacement o-rings in the post. Hopefully this will be all in the past soon :)

Into a jeep (wash my mouth out) something not sure what.

Yes got to agree, range rover are great work horses lol!

Talking about a full refurb rather than the seals?

yes complete strip down and rebuild look fr Bosch VE injector pump rebuild on U tube

I had a Subaru Legacy that only use to make a strange noise going down hill and backing off throttle. I later found out it was probably the DMF as per @Datatek. It was a clanging sound like someone was ringing a bell.

my cranshaft damper sounded like the adjuster pulley bearing was let go and the reason i found it was the front pulley damper was that you could turn the fan and the front pulley would turn without the cranshaft turning until the dog clutch...

DMF Failed.

When they work LOL

Became hard to hide... Even worse, it caught up with my bank account... Luckily, not a lot is missing: roof tent, tires, distributor, roof bars. And there, only the tires are really required. And the fuel lines and other hoses. I just hope...

The damper makes a right crackling noise and when it goes it's done. They stay noisy and fail full stop, not a intermittent thing👍

It it a dual mass flywheel on the manual 🤔 they can give the odd rattle and then rattle constantly 🫣

Bit of a mystery this ... Driving yesterday and set off and suddenly there was an almighty racket. I thought the gearbox input shaft bearing was toast. Dumped the clutch and then tried to pull away again and it was fine. Did this a few more...

They're great work horses.

Mines been earning it's keep again, road trip up to Knaresborough with friend of mine to take engine, box, rad and few other bits out of Dodge Durango got there at 8.10 this morning managed to get it out and all loaded up by 5pm got home at 7.45...

Ooh, nice engine transplant there🤔

Ah and no maf indeed

Yes cold engine and level check straight after starting

beat me too it Keith !! Was typing as you posted.

Did you top up with the engine./gearbox cold & engine idling? I assume no MAF on your car?

Guillain-Barre is auto immune and certain inoculations trigger it. I have to be very careful in this respect

Test result was vague. Told doc I had ear infection again, hence penicillin, but it sorted the dull ears & taste issue. Maybe it was false positive !!
