[MENTION=20743]Mark The Cabby[/MENTION] [MENTION=21573]twiggy[/MENTION] time to get twiggys car sorted then, twiggy get on the phone to the dealers, tell them you know marks is at the dealership right now and to compare them, ask them to call mark if they require his approval.

Mark, incase they call, just be ready for it :).

Hopefully they don't make the same noise for Marks sake, and they can verify and rectify the problem for you twiggy :)!

Looks like that plan has been blown out, just have to see what the tech guy finds on Monday, shame as we've waited 2 weeks for a car to compare, hopefully when they do the PDI on Marks they'll take note of the sound, good news is i'm hoping to head to Marks on Sunday so i'll be able to hear his....need as much ammo before I head in on Monday.

And if yours makes the same sound i'll cry....hate to think I've wasted everyones time with me moaning and it could be normal....i'll be honest though at it's worse it's far from normal, bit like me I guess.
Gotta say, I hope for your sake that it is normal and you have wasted everyone's time. Much better than them saying its a faulty gbox!

Plus, we can all take the piss out of you for a few weeks. Now that Melted headlampgate and Manders are no longer the butt of our daily laughter rituals!

[MENTION=15204]Ian whu[/MENTION] nice for us to be the butt of the laughs :(

[MENTION=21573]twiggy[/MENTION] / [MENTION=20743]Mark The Cabby[/MENTION] hope it's nothing, and if it is, it gets fixed quickly by mr mustang special tech!

Ok you all have the right to wash your hands of me.....well kinda, went out in Marks Car today which I must say is fantastic, we warmed her up and when we got back to the Berkshire meet held at the pub we heard the sound my car has been making, it wasn't as loud but it was defo there, it's not totally egg on my face though (maybe Marks is knackered also) as there is the other sound it makes which we didn't hear on his which sounds like small stone swirling around in a tin can. Hopefully on Monday this chap from Ford will now has an easier job now I've sorted that sound out but what upsets me is that this could have been proven weeks ago had they found a car sooner.

I felt sick when I heard his as I gave my dealer a hard time, we still have this other sound though which I kinda think is related in someway, problem is it's not always there unlike the other noise.

That^.

Reading your descriptions again though, I'm wondering if you're not mistaking the noise from the soundtube for something else? There could obviously be an issue with the soundtube but it does produce a kind of whoosing noise which is probably going to sound different to different people.

I'm happy to come and have a listen and vice versa if you want.

Sound like a plan, need to get the car back first, i'm hoping he'll agree with me and say the whirling cog noise sounds normal, as for the other sound it's defo not normal, if it happened to anyones car you would be as worried as I was when I first heard it, it's a tinny metal sound which could be a heat shield or the resonator, I've heard all the vids of resonator rattles and it doesn't sound the same but other than that and the heat shield I can't think what else would be made of a tinny type metal on the car, did read about some ones fly wheel catching on the Flex Plate as it was spinning which caused a tinny sound, also heard about the Exhaust Flex Hose causing tinny rattles, think the Flex hose is the bit that joins the main exhaust to the cat sections......it could be anything really.

I gotta say, if the sound you are hearing is normal, I think it's the same as what I described, I think the dealers is shoving still. They should have the balls to say it is and tell you that.

Glad to read this Twiggy and hope it is indeed bugger all. Don't be embarrassed though........ better to share on here & turn out to be nothing than bottling up all that frustration & rage over the time.

Crossing fingers that it's all sorted
