Hmmm, well just whipped the aux belt off (fun job that was!) and briefly ran the engine, and sure enough the buzz has gone away, so that rules out the cam belt side of things (yay!) But trying to work out which pulley/pump is at fault is kinda difficult. The only slight discrepencies is that...

;) Will let you off lol

SSSEEAAAARRCCCHHHHHH!!! its been covered about 35457458m times before ;)

Could be the weather..... No really, hot humid days make a car feel underpowered ;)

Balls! I hope its not, that tensioner is about £110 alone :( Plus it was changed for a brand new genuine one only 20k ago. Its such a pain to get to it all to check things but I dont want something going and taking the cam belt with it :S

:coffee: Anyone?

You've got the horseshoe and cams up the right way I assume? As the slots are offset from centre.... Also have you got the crank locked in the correct place using an 8mm pin?

Yesterday I noticed my engine started making a high pitched buzzing/whirring noise which increases with engine speed. No idea what it is but it sounds as though its coming from the belt side of the engine where all the pulleys are. Could it be bearings in alternator/PAS/aircon pump? Cam belt...

Anyone here? Coming from Hethersett way towards Wymondham, It was between 4:30 and 5:30 I cant quite remember lol Sounded awesome rumbling down the road :)

I probably won't make this as I'll (hopefully) be off roading all day, if it plays up again I'll come lol

Anyone fancy it?

And me!

Great driving there!! The corner speed you carry is amazing :approve:

Got it all sorted, he made up another triangluated hanger so its much better now :) He did also mention about "a white one coming in the other week" proper heap he said haha.....he really liked it! I told him we'd just been to the 'Ring last weekend ;)

Have you checked the wishbone bushes/bolts to see if they are tight? And also the steering rack mountings ? Theyre pretty fiddly to get to though!

Lol I didnt think you noticed you looked like you were "in the zone" or something haha :race:

Hey Lewis, that was me in the red polo in st faiths.....I thought there can only be one white ph1 with a cage in it round here lol ;.)

Ah yes I've been there before, they did my exhaust on the Aristo :) I'll give him a bell in the week and see what he says, he'll prob sting me for it cos its not one of his systems lol Cheers guys

Any of you guys that arent TOO far from Wymondham able to weld my rear box hanger back on? Its stainless and its almost broken off, hanging on by a little bit of weld :dapprove:

The indicator and wiper stalks obviously :rolleyes: :approve:

Heres the 3 I have Joep :)

Where were you guys timing from and to? Cool pics from the top of the start line :)

I may well do!

Nice one! :)

Id love to go again before the year is up, maybe September time? Keep us informed Jim ;) Any luck with that video clip? Possible to put on youtube if its easier? :)

Joepster, I have a couple of pictures of your friend's RS on track! I will dig them out later ;)

Hmmm, I might consider this, will keep you posted!

A couple for you Lewis and 1 of Rhys and Danny! You may want to crop my window frame out haha

The car looks great on the 2118's Lewis :) Where were you timing your laps from and to? Shame they dont allow you to have a "flying lap" now but I guess its all in the name of saftey or something. s**t, didnt realise there were 3 deaths, I noticed it was closed for about an hour at one point...
