it aint the heat sheilds just checked today

sounds like it is coming from the fan belt area, could it be the timing chain slapping against its casing.

there is a spring next to the fan belt that looks quite rusty though

like a tinny rattle?

exhaust heat-shield on the manifold would be first guess, just take it off see if it goes. the lil buggers have a habit of rusting where they bolt down!

there is a really annoying ratteling noise coming from my engine, it started off making the noise just now and again but today it has been happening constantly,

its a hard noise to describe, but it does seem to increase in speed with the engine speed

any ideas of what it could be and what would need to be done to sort it.

it does not seem to effect the engine at all

and it is a 1l 12v engine

cheers:thumbs:
