    Well i have tryed every thing i can think of .to stop this rattle but
    it is still there has anybody got any idea what it could be. it is
    coming from the main belt where the alternator is and the lolly pop
    tensionor which has been replaced,and it is not the bottom pulley as
    some had rubber ones, not any bearings, i have tryed spraying it with
    brake fluid which did stop it for about 4 days .. so i think it could
    be some thing to do with the belt. any body had the same proplem?

  2. It is beginning to sound like the only way you are going to find out if it
    is the belt or not is to replace it. At best it will cure it and at worst
    it will be eliminated.

    The belt is not very old, i have done down to the coast and back
    tonight with out any proplem. no rattle when starting up from cold.so i
    have to wait till the morning and see if it rattles then. it only does
    it for about 10-15 sec.

  4. Another probably silly thought then. Is it a pattern belt or a genuine Pug
    one? I have known things like that to have an effect, particularly with
    inkjet cartridges but the principle is the same.

    That's me fresh out of ideas then. Let us know what transpires.
