Someone had to. It sounds like it's going to blow up. I really can't afford another car repair, but without it, Lelapin can't get to a job.

:banghead:

2. I hope it's one of those
"it sounds worse than it is" but this is *me* we're talking about. Don't hold your breath. :(

3. "Sounds like" how?
Maybe it's just REALLY excited!

4. Last time it made this sound
the A/C compressor was going. (I thought it was the water pump.)

Water pump and timing belt were replaced because it was time and the water pump was leaking. I had the compressor removed at the same time. Over the weekend, it started making a noise that could be as simple as the gravel pan vibrating violently or something much worse. It makes the noise all the time it doesn't change as the car shifts gears...

Bleh. I can't afford to get rid of it and I can't afford to keep it running. :(

5. The fact that the noise
doesn't change, is a good thing I think. See, no problem! Hope your mechanic agrees with me.

Through the power of persuasion I have made a mountain into a molehill. My work here is done.

Up! Up! And away!

7. Easy fix
Turn the radio up. Can't hear the noise, so there can't be a problem, right?
