[talkingcars]

Init confusin' wot diffrent gizzas talk like

but hay, I'm totally cool about it.

Well...I've driven it

My god it felt so good, took it for a blast up the road and it was such a relief off my shoulders you have no idea!

The car drives just like before, it feels a lot tighter as well! Marks from the accident are...

tiny marks on the front of the bumper where it hit the fence, some marks on the side of the bonnet for some reason, but nothing major - I went over it with a tooth comb, and the o/s front wing is VERY slightly out of alignment.

Apart from that, she looks fine

One thing though, a strange noise developed whilst I was driving it, you only really here it when it's idleing - it's a whining noise...coming from the front n/s of the engine bay. It's very odd - it'll be looked at tomorrow, but I dunno what it is yet.

Apart from that, I wub my ZS

Clutch, o/s drive shaft, bumper, wing, bumper back support beam, gearbox mount, engine mount - err think thats it.

Any ideas what this noise could be?

Also will the car come to much harm if its running without the airbox resonator? will it lose power?

thanks.

Is the noise coming from the power steering pump?

Hard to tell, it's gone now to have the aircon done for tomorrow but it seemed to come from the top of the engine bay if that helps.

But surely it'd whine all the time? it seems to go when you give it throttle...might just be being drowned out by 6 cylinders though lol

I took the resonator box out of my old car on purpose, as it supposedly gives a nicer induction noise. It had been done by many folks on the Owners Club for that car and no one ever mentioned losing power for it. In that car it was just a box/tube with a hole in it, so dont think you'll lose power... not sure about the ZS, but I would think its a similar story.

Stamfords the man for induction queries, I have no resonator box on mine but I have an enclosed induction kit instead

Is the A/C on while the car is doing this?
