For the last few months I've developed a very slight rattle coming from low down at the front of the engine. Its been very difficult to diagnose although it went a lot quieter when I replaced the alternator.
Well today I found out what the rattle was
Pulley sheared off the alternator and took 2/3 of my engine plastics with it ! Not too mention some sizeable dents in top and bottom pulley wheels and fubered tensioner roller ! Picked lots of plastic and debris out from round the cambelt and drove home
...........and somewhere deep in there lurks a 1" long bolts sheared off one of the covers !!
Here's some pics and if anyone has some parts to fix this pm me.
You wont get a reply for a week though because I'm off to the south of France tonight
