Hi guys, havent visited here for a good while now been in hospital with a broken back (motorbike accident) 7 weeks ago and havent really thought about visiting due to me not even being able to drive the bravo :(

Anyway hope its the same lively bunch of friendly people with the light banter etc, remember a tommyk who likes his remaps. Used to be a good guy named Tom who was like the bible of diagnosing engine probs so thought I'd post this vid of my engine and see if anyone knows what it may be...I cant do any checks or buy things now etc as im obviously bed bound but i just thought i'd see if anyone knows what it is for when i can do something about it.

Its been doing it now for about a year now, no noticeable loss in power/performance/economy just a weird supercharger type whiney noise from the engine. Sounds really good when booting it through the gears though haha even though it may not just at stand still in the video but im just curious as to what it is as when i come to sell it someone may question it...

Anyway thanks in advance guys, take it steady, may like to watch a stupid vid i made the other day too haha if you get bored, looks like we're tailgating, and making stupid engine noises when infact we're getting towed...
