Just for your future information using your own photo, the power vis motor is the one on the top and the balance vis motor is the one on the side. Both held in by 4 screws at each corner and a plug on the top. Balance motor is very difficult to get at.

Brilliant!

Thanks for that.

Everyone seems to be really helpful so far!

I guess its because everyone has had all the same issues!!

I hear that the way to check the VIS motors are to unplug whilst running and see if there is a noticeable change?

The real way to test the motors are either using a VIS tester or fit VIS indicators.

Other than that it's all about the feel and you won't get a 100% correct answer. If the car feels sluggish below 3k rpm then chances are one of the motor is gone.

I cant tell if its sluggish under 3k rpm as ive never driven another 180?!

I have a quiet ticking on startup (cold)

Progressively louder (when warm)

Constant ticking but changes with the revs

Could just be a belt or slight movement!?
