Ha - what summer?

I was away for a week and missed it. it's more like mid-autumn here today umbrella

I've only done about 400 miles or so and the bevel box is quieter but not quiet.

It's still noisiest around 55-65 but more a soft spoken voice than a shriek - if that makes sense?

However, the drive belt was also tightened at the service so that could also be having an effect so overall nothing conclusive.

It would be interesting if others try a switch to EP140 as well to see if there is a trend.


Another update - I did about 300 miles this weekend and Saturday was reasonably hot with plenty of rapid motoring.

The BB is continuing to be quieter with the EP140 and was livable with.

I don't think it's a cure but it does help with the syptoms - worth a try when you're changing the oil.
