Not really loud, bit if you can imagine leaving a sex toy switched on in yer hand bag. You know that low irritating buzzing noise.

Just been looking at your thread lee
Your doing well!
Shame your finding a few probs here and there!
Your not alone I've similar probs too!

I see u mentioned new registration issues!
What's that all about?
 
A new system that relies on the postal service!!!!
In 2014!!!!!!
Really???????

A guy I know has spent over a month trying to register his Buick, sending forms back & forth, something about a nova form??????
 
Well the engine has turned over for the first time!!!
Was a scary moment until it quietened down a bit!!
Will be trying to fire it up tomorrow !!!

This is how said engine bay looks like now, still some bits to secure n some bits to fit like!!!

I left Darren to it as he seemed to be really enjoying himself :D

And I cracked on with more important stuff,

:D

Getting there!!???!!!?!!
 
Well done bud ,must be a cool feeling when you've not heard it run for so long . :D carpets looking good.
 
I've, never heard this engine run!!
Was terrifying hearing it knocking till the oil got round it the other night when we were turning it over.
When it was running yesterday it was quite quiet when ticking over, it just knocked when revving up!!!!!

Unfortunately I've had to give up on my deadline of VoWo show as even if we get it running it'll not be registered in time!!!

Also we just can't afford the trek to the show either :(
My tickets are for sale if anyone is interested ???
 
It's a real knock to your enthusiasm when your deadliness slip by but what you need to keep in mind mate is with the time and effort you have invested in this bus once it's done it will be a reliable motor and should you need to work on it it will be made easier by the attention to detail and correct build procedure you have followed.
Chin up mate it looks the nuts !!!
