Just noticed the alternator is really noisy, but only when I put the lights on. The noise is quite hard to describe, like faster higher pitched version of noisy tappets.

Maybe - wouldn't it make a noise all the time if the bearings where worn? |

Could be the tensioner bearing, alternator bearings or water pump. The normal noise that these bearings make is a whine that increases pitch with rpm.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
