Metallic rattle ?

[M 80NGO]

Over the last couple of days l'oreal has developed a metalic rattle at tickover as soon as seh gets above 1000 rpm the noise stops and she's fine, there is plenty of oil in her and she's not using any fluids, she drives fine and isn't chugging or smoking at all, i have had her up on the ramps and dropped the belly pan to check that every thing is as it should be and found that my crankshaft pulley retaining bolt was only finger tight put a pulley lock on the pulley and tightened up the 38mm nut and hey presto no more rattle

Could have been nast tho if the bolt had of come out whilst i was on the move tho

No I didn't I forgot and took us all for a bike ride looks like tomorrow night can I get at it from passenger side or am I lying on the floor again

Can only the front part of the belly pan be removed or are they both locked together so both parts have to come off together...? http://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/c ... mgno=.html

Hi,

Mine's been doing this for a while.. thought it was something to do with a hole in my exhaust - fixed the exhaust and the noise is still there. She's not been used very much, perhaps just as well. Will check tonight! Yikes!

Cheers,

Steveyd

Nice one i like to cycle rutland its a proper good ride, i went out for a 20 mile bike ride t'other night and got a puncture front and rear 5 miles from home with no mobile phone to call the wife to come and rescue me with l'oreal so it was a nice walk home for me in the warm evening sun

Hi,

A bit off topic but got shwalbe land cruisers on my mtb - 2k miles so far and only got 2 punctures when real off roading it when I went over a huge bramble! Not too bad for off road either and have been well impressed!
