Re: Tailgate rattle/clunk

Ive just removed mine, couldn't stop it rattling no matter how much I adjusted them!...has stopped the rattling, just means you have to lift the boot as you unlock it.

Which alternator?

Hi, I need a new alternator as mine is making a whining noise which gets louder with revs. I know there is a 140amp and a 120amp, which one should I get? or would either be fine?

Re: Whiney noise when revving engine

Hmm, air con compressor is below the drive bet pulleys isn’t it?…how much was the labour to change that? should I just bite the bullet and change the compressor, drive pulley, tensioner and belt? can get the pulley, tensioner, belt and water pump for £120…compressor looks about £195.
