> Was this in the bottom of the pulley housing? > > What did the fastener look like? It reminded me of the little clamp that holds the accelerator cable. It was round with a hole through it and a slot on one end. Didn't really look at it very closely, but I kept it so I can take a photo of it tomorrow if you like. Could it have fallen off from somewhere inside the fan housing? I still doubt this was what was maknig the noise; the noise decreased as rpm rose. If this was being thrown about that wouldn't happen, IMHO. > > If you bolt the fan back on, you could start the engine and run it briefly just > to check to see if the noise was gone.

My neighbours probably think I'm a bit weird when they see me under the car. I think I'll pass on running the engine without the muffler. I'll just carry on taking it apart and see what there is to see. > > Done. As I have it off I want to clean it up and make the timing hole round > > again.
