Won't be a daily driver anyway, certainly with 7" brakes all round

Tried talc, no difference. Tried water, just the same :-( Looks like a call to my supplier in the morning.....
Thanks again all
Just off to see if I can rock my blades.

Water pump has been 'singing/humming' since it was fitted it earlier in the year.

Now an intermittent rattle sound seems to be coming from the area. Sometimes ceases if I depress the clutch, but not always. And seems intermittent when driving on less even surfaces. Fan belt tension seems ok [according to the manual] but I can rotate the blades within the belt by hand. Does that mean it is actually too loose?
