Unfortunately, due to a design fault, the heat causes the inner component of the snail to vaporise. This results in the shell only, (clearly seen in Post 56, photo 2) which causes a rattling sound from the inlet manifold. A common occurrence, not often understood.



Very clever my dear Watson......

It's the Rover version of "Bottoms Up" called "Bonnets Up"!...... (And it's got nothing to do with them breaking-down all the time either - because they DON'T)....lol.

Hi Mike, thought that might be your good lady but didn't want to presume..... So really it is a silent 'j'....

Sorry you can't make but I understand you will have more 'pressing' needs.......
