It does rub against one of the engine hoses but wouldn't have thought it would have made a noise...... I've wrapped the hose in question, it's easy to spot, in black electrical tape so it wears the tape down and not the hose.

***edit***

Just found this thread relating to the hose it rubs against.......

cheers for that mate i will have a look in the morning cheers again

instead of wrapping the offending hose with tape , it is just as easy to twist the hose around the thermostat housing , then you will no longer have the problem

I fitted a PD160 intake pipe and front flange and realising it would possibly rub against the engine pipe, I placed a thick washer (drivers side) between the front flange where it fastens with the 2 torque bolts to the rear of the front panel, this then points the PD160 intake pipe away from the engine so as not to catch.

Hope this helps.

I found the zip tie was a nice discrete method too.

thanks to all i believe that the noise in question seems to be all cold weather related as when it has been walmer this week engine has been fine it has been very very cold recently
