My Mk3 1.2 TCE has started developed a sort of whine from the front of the engine. I've turned the aircon on and off so don't recon it's that. Charge warning light isn't on (yet) so I the alternator is still charging so not sure if it's that. Only other thing is the idler pulley, unless the aux...
My GF has been having problems with her Mk2 Ph2 1.2 16v. Since it's been cold it takes a few attempts to start.

Glad to hear you like my handy work :cool:
That F400 isn't the same car the Farboud was. The Farboud had a longitudinally mounted Audi lump and the 3 that were produced were, shall we say, rough. The F400 is based on the subtly redesigned Farbio GTS. The two at the Leeds factory are...
There was one at Combe, prob the same one they like rocking horse s**t,
only other time I've ever seen one of them was in Monaco.
There was an SLR 722 at Combe a couple of years ago, what a machine that was.
