Re: [DML] Ringing noise in engine

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Possibles:

Alternator belt catching on the alternator fan
Upper exhaust bracket has snapped and the free end is now dangling down 
and catching on the alternator fan
Stuck starter motor

I've seen all of these at one time or another

Cheers

Martin
