Perfect, thank you, going down on Friday to have a go in their demonstrator. John mentioned that the salesman that is running their demonstrator has mentioned some ticking noises too so it'll be interesting to have a chat about it.

If so, mine has that and I understand it's normal. If not, curious as to what you mean.

I'm South West England so probably too far to help practically.
Yes, sounds very much like that, under load and pretty quiet which makes it difficult to pin down. John mentioned the B48 has some characteristic noises too which don't sound dissimilar. Lets hope it's not another N47 fiasco all over again...
