Love to Perry, but I suspect the Roller is next on my list of "strange but true" motor vehicles.

How's life in Warrnambool? Those tyres still wearing as quickly as ever and the radio stations still giving you a hard time ?

When are you next in Melbourne? - love to catch up.

Life's here is good. I changed tyre brand (not game to mention brand here as I might get canned ) and I am still running at 25,000km and the front ones are hardly worn. Now I don't get into trouble with wife anymore changing 3 sets of tyres per year.

Love to catch up with you next time I am down. My new hobby now is photography and I love it

.... and here's another clue for you all
the walrus was Paul!

No, not quite, although I am sure a few of you here are old enough to remember that line from glass onion.

The clue is that my grinding noise happens after I wash my car. I couldn't work out why it didn't happen on the weekend, then I washed the car last night and it happened this morning.

Now I know that I'm not squirting water anyway near the vicinity of the engine so I am puzzled about the coincidence.

Any, and all thoughts appreciated.

I have had this problem on the rare occasion also. Being so rare I haven't been able to determine how to replicate this.

It happened again last night on first start up - car had been parked for approx 14 hours.

It never happens in the morning when the car would be parked for about 7-9 hours?

Dunno, he might be overseas on an assignment?

I've got his home phone number etc. I'll send him an email. He might (and that's a big MIGHT) come to Winton in November.
