It is intermittent and of course it will never do it at the dealership but I showed them this video and they said it was perfectly normal. I find it a bit hard to believe so I'm after some alternate opinions.ThanksIMG_0956.MOV

OED666, what exactly does preload mean and with insufficient preload, what is actually happening in there? 1
