:nana2: :hyper: put coolent in the old gal today and fired her up. not even a second and it fires into life. so far so good NO KNOCKING.. but going to test over the weekend. wow how i missed driving the beasty. i feel happy for now :hyper:

 

so at the moment i was ripped off for my 60k service!!! i will try and contact the person that did it again over the weekend just to see what he says about not replacing the tensioner!

 

EDIT VIDEO OF FIRST START!!

video clicky

Good to hear Gaz :)

 

p.s Im not sure who did your service, but most of the garages do the tensioner as an extra on top of the 60k service (it should be inspected either way). Its around £100 extra.

good to hear it fella

nice one, glad it was an easy fix (or was it lol)

if your getting a 60k service your getting a tensioner!!! never heard of added extra.

the 60k service kits are offered with a tensioner and at £480 it was supposed to be done and the guy who did it gave me back a tensioner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the "other" parts that were supposed to have been replaced!

 

he fucked me over for nearly £250 im not happy!

 

and at nearly the expense of a new engine. im currently in test to see if the noise develops as currently i have only driven it to the petrol station and back.

 

the only "extra" i paid for was an additional idler which cost me an extra £70

OH YES THEY DO :slap: :rofl:

Not sure if you will pick this one up, but did the lifter treatment sort out the noise or was it mainly the probs with the belt? I have exactly the same noise and am hoping that a can will fix it as I have just spent £800 welding it back together for the MOT and don't fancy taking it somewhere to get them to open the engine up!

i didnt try the lifter stuff. it was purly the tensioner on the belt had failed.

hope that helps

cheers for replying, I tried the lifter stuff, definately helped but the noise is still there, it's like a cross between a rattle a noisy chain and a ticking. I'll have to take it to a mechanic to check it out.
