turned teh key today to move her from round the back and she fired up straight away after being stood for a few weeks, not even so much as a thought of not starting :D sems to be good like that. touched the acceleratior and a horrid grinding rubbing noise came from the engine bay, took my foot off it stopped. :/ i went a bit pale at this point thinking please no you were behaving so well recently. I stopped panicing popped the bonnet and applyed a touch the throttle, noise came back used my eyes and ears the fan shroad was rubbing on the fan. 30 secnds later panic over problem sorted. i think was a turning point.

close call!

Had similar thing happen driving around town few weeks back the shroud actually split and was making a noise similar to when you were younger and put bottles/cartons in ur tyres to make a noise haha (unless that was just a thing around my area :p )
