Chirp isn’t there anymore!

"source of chirp" ?? omg,,,

good steel I reckon,, otherwise its a gearbox/floor/etc,,,

I thought it was an idler, as it matched the engine speed and not road speed. Or at least it seemed to....

Funny 'bout that!!

Well, battery charger on Bluey (1999 D2 7 seater) for a couple of days while I moved a new Kenworth from Melbourne to Toowoomba, home just on dark tonight and thought I'd give the key a twist.
I wasn't expecting much - either no start, start with clatter and bang and/or clouds of smoke, or maybe a splutter or two. (bluey has been sitting in an auction yard since April).
About three rotations, and a lovely vroom noise - could hardly believe my ears!
No smoke - no dash lighting up - not even the 3 amigos!

Now to sort out a parts list for Mario and Heather, (filter kit, 2 x sls airbags, and an egr removal kit, for starters). And have to get hold of Colin to organise a D2 Td5 unlock for the Nanocom.

In the words of the unforgettable Big Kev - I'm excited!!!!

Does the tank fuel pump whine when it starts to fail......?????

Nah, it generally makes a farting, gurgling sound when it's on its way out in my experience. The whine is normal as long as it's not too loud.
