  1. A query to a fellow Pinner resident. My 4 has developed a constant ticking noise from the engine compartment, like a busy sewing machine my wife says. Does not affect performance, but is tiresome to use. Tappets checked. Any ideas?

      Could be any number of things-a broken timing chain tensioner, a segment in the dynamo commutator come loose, bonnet release spring and plunger rattling, bonnet hinge pins loose and rattling. Water pump pulley loose on the pump shaft. Grille not secure.

      Put the question on the forum and more minds will address it.

  2. Hi Peter,

    You mention Fenner PowerTwist Belting as an answer.

    Have googled it, nothing else to do now we are shut down here in France, and haven't really come up with anything helpful.

    Can you advise on uk supplier and relevant ref number.

    Thanks,

    Adam

      Hi Adam,

      My comment was based on seeing the use of the Fenner Powertwist belting on a photograph of an old engine that needs the drive shafts removing to replace the dynamo drive belt. 

      I have had a similar issue with a drive belt on my lathe so used the Fenner product so I did not have to disassemble the headstock and gearbox to change a belt.

      Here is a link to Fenner

      I agree not cheap but incredibly helpful to save time and messing about.

      Cheers

      Peter W
