Oh dear. Sorry to hear that. Not having much look are you.

Well if it makes you feel better, mine sounds like a tractor today, so a full rebuild is needed. Guess that will swallow a few grand

wouldn't it be funny (not for the guy by the way) if it was the blue filter, adding more fuel to the debate.
