Thanks Chris,

I will check that next week. I have several things to check on engine, because I
made about 1500km after rebuild, put new heater cables and reset the rear suspension.
I will be alone at home (no wife and sons around) so I will have time to that. I
also have a list of thing to be done at home :-)

So it's speed dependent as opposed to RPM dependent, and it also doesn't seem to have anything to do with load, but my crude test of driving upto sixty miles an hour and then applying brakes heavily to shift load to the front might not have been the most scientific test in the world, but the noise was still there. ...
