....Since the car is going at the end of this week.
Last night had a guy from Lincoln come and look at the car, we took the car out and he drove normally and the odd gear shift down into 4th at speed...certainly nothing out of the ordinary for me and for me to be concerned.
We then took the car to a local petrol garage for him to look at it under some light and while he was looking the car started to make a bit of a high pitched groan (dont we just love describing sounds)...this slightly concerned me and I tried to ignore it, he didnt say owt at least
Well the same noise this morning and this lunch time at work...you can obviously hear it easily enough straight from start up and i had the stereo off this afternoon and the noise increases as the revs do...no difference made by engaging and disengaging the clutch...popped bonnet up in the car park and (now im not great with cars remember!) but it seems to be coming from the new Cam Belt that was put on on the 7th Feb 06.....should i be worried and ring the bloke up or wait a few days to see or should i be very worried....I cant confirm for sure its the cam belt but it seems to be coming from that very position at the top (Also the cover has a viewable area in it but its always been like that
Slightly concerned.....

Well thought I would get a second opinion from Wilkobob although the noise had pretty much gone after the run down the A1 and the noise certainly seems to point to the cam belt area, Mr Wilkobob seems to think it may be a bearing that may be on the way out in a pulley down in front of the belt cover

Hmm I assume that if it snaps when someone buys it hopefully this week its nowt to do with me and the guy will have to take it to the original garage since its only been coming onto 4 weeks now...i wont be driving it from this afternoon as my temporary lease car (toyota corolla 55' automatic has been delivered)
