Engine won't start, not even trying just a ticking noise from the engine bay. Now called AA. It's a diesel mate. Lit up like a Christmas tree.

On my way to Luton. It started flashing randomly now on the journey. Any ideas what is it? Cant really search from my mobile so would appreciate some advice. Thanks

Can you hear the extra sound along with the whistle though?

Ok it's really *****, but at 5-6 seconds you can hear the whistle, and the extra noise. Tell me what you think? Hope you'll pick it up.

Video coming ... God the noise my tyres make is horrendous. Went for a cheaper brand, never again. Anyway, I can pick up the noise I mean in few places. I'll try to pin-point it for you to make it easier. Not really a good quality and the noise is not so apparent. A bit easier to pick up when...

yeah. just wait until CJ finds this thread and i bet he'll say 'you should have got car with a proper engine' lol Got some recordings, going through them now to see if it picked up the noise.

I'm afraid it won't be heard on a video recorded on a mobile. I'll give it a shot though.

Hmmm.. Well I'd rather not make a fool of myself... But then if it's a developing problem I'd rather had it checked. You probably know I always worry too much ... If it was the turbo bearing going, would I hear the whailing instantly? Other symptoms? It's a pain as I can't check it while...

Had this since they've fitted the new manifold in Swindon. When turbo kicks in there's additional noise heard. Not whaling or whining. It's very difficult to describe. Definitely related to turbo. As soon as it kicks in the noise appears and goes after I release the accelerator Had service done...

Worth calling HUK and asking why that particular Dealer charged you for putting through a warranty claim? ... I would

I had my manifold just done. No paperwork for me too ... although I've failed to ask and thought about it later ... but I am sure there will be a record. Will check with HH next week. On the payment side, wasn't asked for a single penny. Sounds ridiculous. They just charged you what they like...

Car's now sorted. Had a Jazz for 2 days, and while it's a nice quiet little car, it's not my cup of tea :) The noise and smell is now gone, didn't have to pay a penny so happy bunny :) Service booked on Monday so any issues hopefully will be picked up. Me being me, there is always something I...

Got mine yesterday. Looks really good. Haven't tried yet, but will do soon! Thanks Dan!

Well, I hope you are packing them now ;)

Yes. They can only cover the 2 days it's in for a repair. Tough. Will have to ask around friends.

Just got back from Swindon Dealers. They had a look and it is the manifold. Booked in for a repair next Tuesday-Wednesday. Courtesy car for the time of the repair. They only cared about the mileage and age. Not bothered by FSH, as it's a safety issue, and no servicing will prevent that from...

Thanks Guys Got AA but I think they only recover to home in case of breakdown. Started the car this morning and definitely could smell fumes in the car. Like never before. If it was just a coincidence, then quite lucky, as it turned my attention to the oil. Definitely will be back to checking...

Just re-read the thread about manny (as you called it) and it looks like it's covered up to 125k or 7 yrs no matter what service history. SO that's good. On the other hand if it's an exhaust gasket then I guess that can't be expensive.Bit relieved now but won't be fully at piece until the noise...

Just had the mechanic have a look. He said it looks like the gasket in the exhaust pipe or manifold. And I can definitely smell fumes now in the place where you always said to look at. So it could be just a coincidence that it went while I was a little down on oil. He even put his hand to the...

Well I am getting someone to listen to it today and will go from there. I guess if it is the chain, driving to Stoke to get it fixed is not recommended. Then again Swindon dealer will rip me off. Oh well ....
