[TR] TR3 Tick Tick Tick

[Peter Ryner]

I had a similar problem last year.  I took the rocker shaft off and checked 
everything I could without removing the head.  Found nothing.  Then I 
started to look around the engine and I found that the fan belt had started 
to separate and was hitting metal when I accelerated.  Didn't make the noise 
without the load.  Might want to look around the engine bay.
