Posted this on the other forum as it sometimes gets faster responses, guess people are more interest in hypnotism, the lottery and other such err... topics today.
I've noticed a noise at idle over the last couple of months which has got progressively more frequent, stuck me head under the bonnet yesterday again to try and find it and it sounds like it's coming from the left front side of the bay.
Closer inspection of the belt and I found the tensioner had quite a bit of movement in it and the chattering noise seemed to be coming from that area. Difficult to describe the sound, sounded kinda.. woody if that makes sense lol.
Is this play normal, if not would it explain the noise I'm hearing?
Ta in advance.
