I have just had a major service on my ZT and changed the inlet manifold as like some of the other people I had a loud clicking noise coming from it. I picked it up and I still have the same problem even though its not as loud.

What else can be done to eliminate this noise!!!

Did they change the motors or just put your old motors on the replacement manifold?

Gammer, i think from your response you replaced like for like and that would include the motors as to the best of my knowledge the manifolds as a replacement part include them.
My guess is the noise you are referring to is the alternator drive belt which is a known issue!

To me it sounded like a real rattlely tappit sort of noise and when you rev up it seems to get quicker and louder. Is the alternator drive an expensive job do you know ?
