Thank you all for your Replies Lots of things to chew over, I'm willing to go anywhere if it gets a good job done, it is not a case of money is no object, but I'm willing to pay what it takes to get a good job. I think I'll ring up those recommendations and see what they have to say, I noticed ESM m...
Hello All I have decided to have some professional work on my Traveller, including new wood, a respray (it was resprayed several years ago and many areas have peeled off, it started orange peeling early on and I was not charged for the job). Also while it's in I’ve made a list of smaller jobs to be ...

I agree, he wound some people up with his blunt replies, but he was very helpful to me and easy to deal with when I bought some bits off him. I liked him.
Hi all Sorry for delay, wife went in for a hip replacement op and I've been rather busy with domestics. Have tested out all your comments to no avail, but the noise has not been happening over the past 50 odd miles. A friend of mine took a recording of the noise last month and has cleaned it up so t...
have you had a good look at the manifold, ,cracking,gasket, tightness ,because any slight leak can create a hell of a noise,and as it heats up the gap closes and the noise stops ,worth just giving the nuts a good pinch up,if ok take it off and have a look at the gasket. Engine is newly rebuilt, all...
Hi All Bottom crankshaft pulley Phil as you suggested. Ken the engine mounts are good and the head steady has new rubbers and was tightened without pushing or pulling the engine out of line. I did another 5 miles today, no noise. Fan belt and alternator new, pulley feels fine. You do need to get to ...
Well the noise is happening less often as I use the car. I am now running with another pulley, even though the one that was on looks ok, have taken the fan blades off (putting extra washers in to match the thickness of the blade and plate), then took the car for a run and the noise came on as loud a...

There is a terrible noise comes and goes that sounds from the front end, having read all the blogs about strange noises I came to the conclusion it mu...
