Possible, I guess.

Google something like 'mechanics stethoscope', or try the old trick using a large screwdriver to listen to it.

Obvious, but just put the sharp end on the alternator and press your lug to the top of the handle.

Thanks.

That's odd.

Does the noise increase with engine or road speed, or just constant?

That would be great, thanks Richard. I'll ask Gordon (who lives near me) and/or Jilly (who we see quite often) if they will be kind enough to collect both. This has the great benefit I can get a matching pair of tyres. 8) Thanks guys. Edit: We're in Builth 2 weeks before the Bash so don't know if it...

Brilliant, twins.

Looking at pics of Bewdley, about 3 miles up, I'd guess you don't want to pitch up at Stourport just now.

Really feel for everyone caught up in the nightmare, wherever they are in the country.

Thankyou for the kind comments, and obviously agree with Doone.

I'm also delighted to say we have made many close and long term friends through the Forum and attending Meets over the years, and alway delighted to make new friends in the future.

Mine's diesel, but from being here a while that sounds about right to me.

Welcome aboard, have to agree with Geoff.

I've heard of people removing the drive to the front wheels without causing problems but I can't see how you could practicaly do it the other way.

I don't think fitting just the diff is that bad, likely a lot less work than replacing the whole axle assembly.

If you didn't need to press the button to lower it then likely the roof was never going fully up and locked.

When you raise it the beeping should stop once it locks up, although as they age it isn't unusual to need a little push to lift the last inch or so.

Really glad you're back in business.

Ah yes, the first question, have you pressed the button up inside the roof, by the interior light?

Found this old thread which may help, too:

Some links in there to follow as well.

Oh dear. :( Do you get the beep when you press the button to lower it? When you say the door wouldn't open do you mean the central locking wouldn't work, or was the door jamed shut? How, why, which wires did you cut to get it open, and how did you access them? When you replaced the switch did you cl...

Certainly worth a call to Bongo Spares.

I guess they don't list every part, particularly bits that don't sell often.

Thanks Geoff.

Hopefully someone (Geoff, please) will help with the Lush Projects diagram, but there's normaly a tray right under the engine.

I believe it's to assist air flow and keep road muck off the business part, but others with more techie knowledge will likely know more.
