my first stag oh dear

[Dave M]

Any joy tracing the problem?

With noise like that it may be something catching on the front pulley's or a bearing going on the alt/PAS/Air con or even the starter motor. Metal on metal noise from The actual engine is not common as you normal hear the big ends knocking first through lack of oil or noisy tappets that stay noisy. If it is defiantly coming from the engine then that's bad, very bad.

We ran an engine with no coolant see what would happen and it took a fair while for it to start to go wrong. When it did finally seize there was't much noise it just stopped. We let it cool and the thing ran fine again but it was a Jap engine.
