Evening all
My wife noticed a 'louder' than normal noise coming from the engine. We all know that the oil burners aren't quite by modern standards but she's correct, it is noisier. It almost sounds like an induction noise ie it's an air intake noise and not a mechanical clunking noise.
I've had a quick check for the obvious loose boost hoses etc but didn't find anything obvious other than the filter housing at the bottom of the front bumper is all but knackered with a twisted / broken base and therefore not sealing the housing....thus basically allowing non-filtered air into the engine.
Does anyone know if this could cause an induction sounding noise?
