I just completed a 2,200m trek in my '90 Westy and other than a few holes hit too fast on an asphalt road it went without any undue wear and tear. Noticed yesterday that when I start from a dead stop (99% OTT) and just this morning while making a left turn into a parking space at slow speed I hear what sounds like a cable catching or popping past something it catches on. I did use the emer brake one overnight on an incline (rearward) with a sleeper above and below but nothing seemed amiss the next morning. When the rain slows I will examine all cables I can find belowdecks but wondered if anyone recognizes the symptoms. I am not comfortable with them knowing they could portend trouble involving safety.
