The wait for the AA or similar is an arse when an engine lets go. At least you know it is coming, prepare for it and sort it rather than it sorting you.................:thumbs: Does nobody read the rest of the thread :lol: Go on the link I posted :P Well it WOULD have been good advice.................but I guess I don't have to tell you that now ;):D Hope you get it sorted fella.

However..... how long has it been since your timing belt has been done..... and have you checked your oil? I see. Timing belt hasn't been done since I got the car, that's all I know, and thats 17000 miles or something. Oil is fine, I filled up yesterday as it was low. Could it be related? How low? What engine? If it was low it screams tappets to me...

	could be bottom end if its more of a deep tap if you get me.
Graham88	posted on 14th Jan 08 at 16:00
	This has just started today, if you lightly touch the throttle it'll tap, then if u put it down heavier it'll stop for a while, then after abouy 3k revs it'll start getting louder and by 5k it's screaming and I lose bottle cause it sounds awful. Searched threads on here, and found 2 possible culprits from other peoples problems, reference here & here. Any more ideas? :wave:
