whip it out and have a look, they are self adjusting but can sometimes get stuck in a fixed position

I remember something about this being a common problem for SV´s as flymo says take it out and have a look if it is getting louder, I believe if you do a search for it you will find others have had similar requests and there is a step by step guide on how to do it.

Ive had it out a couple of times in the past and it did quieten down a bit then, i supose another look is the best idea, ill have to do that soon.

Thanks
