    Ticking when moving! Have you checked you haven't got a nail/screw/bolt/stone stuck in a tyre?

    Once had a driver report his differential had gone on a tractor unit, when we went to recover it, the knackered diff was a cobblestone stuck between the twin rear wheels. :cool:

    Funny that they think its maybe something really bad yet still using it....

    So if it is the pump and the oil pressure is low, Do you plan on wrecking the engine before getting it done?

    Similar question if its the belt. Waiting for it to break and wreck the engine or require even more work?

    False economy....

    Ok, thanks for the abuse from some people.

    1 - I've only had the car a couple of months and was planning an oil change in January.
    2 - I haven't said I am using it, have I? Its booked in for monday and I am off until tuesday.
    3 - The car has done 94,000 miles
    4 - I have always had a yearly oil and filter change on my cars
    5 - The oil level is at the max line.

    I'll just wait and see what happens on Monday.....
