Mine died at 166k, and had wanted for nothing, including oil changes at 7k. It was not so much when it died, more where. She died here: 9FWQGRGF+X4 (GoogMaps ref), a bit far from home. Big Cry Big Cry

I would've still been gutted even at 166k, that it came out of nowhere ha, but jeez that is a seriously long way away, you didn't recover it back either did you? I think I read somewhere you went back and stripped it or something along those lines?

What MY was it?

No, economics were a no-brainier, she was scrapped up there. AA flew me back and I headed up with my D4 to pick up all my camping stuff (unfortunately I don't travel light on road trips) and whatever I could strip from her. Luckily Norway is an easy country to scrap a car in, I just had to pay to get it to the scrapping company, which wasn't too far away. She should now be turned into Norwegian Coke cans. Thumbs Up

She was an MY06 S Auto. Thumbs Up

Well it's back and the noise is still there Neutral

My thinking is it's aux belt related as it's loudest in grille area, I can't hear it with bonnet up and can only faintly hear it from passenger wheel area. It also dissapears when revved as said before. So my theory is I'll just leave it and see if it develops at all. It's just had belts/pump done, so I can't imagine it's a problem there or specialist would've picked it up.

So, yeah. Smile

Ha, sort of. I'm just going to monitor it before I just simply ask for the tensioner to be done, rather than asking them to investigate "tapping/rattling" Smile
