Opened the bonnet to have a look and sounds like its coming from pulleys and when I rev it gets more frequent which made me think it was a bit of dirt caught or something so thought it would go away but hasn't. Also don't think its the belt or anything because sometimes the tick isn't there, generally once the car's warmed upCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be anything really. Edited 08/10/12 11:47 AM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
