Noise from around the CAT is often a loose protection plate on the CAT. The rivets rust through

My initial thoughts Martin, checked all the shields whilst up on the lift but it seems to be rattling from inside the CAT as if internals are collapsing. Also thought something trapped behind shields but nothing there to be seen
But, not having any issues with power loss or consumptions and never had any warnings from sensors etc

It also went through MOT last week and the emissions are fine.

My Gen 3 started making a screeching scraping sound,like a dry gearbox bearing when accelerating (and allowing the rev counter to go past 4000)

It did it for a few weeks and I couldn't find it until one day the crankshaft pulley completely de-laminated and the outer ring fell off. I guess the noise was the outer pulley vibrating.

Worth a look at the crank pulley.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
