hey all,
whenever i'm driving i can hear some kind of scraping noise from near the engine. it happens after i've put it in gear, and got the revs/speed up almost to shift up another gear, and only for a second or two.
it never happens when i'm revvin the car in neutral.
recently my timing belt had started slipping and makin a feckin horrible noise, so i tightened it up. it needs replacing asap, but i was wondering whether this could be the cause...?
i think cos it doesn't happen in neutral when i'm revving, it can't be the timing belt...?
cheers

I'd put money on it being the metal exhaust manifold heat sheild rattling. Unbolt it and fling it in the bin. Then take it for a spin.

i've been looking on other threads and there's loads o' people with the same problem.
could it be the heat shield on the outlet pipes, or on the manifold....?
shall i just rip 'em both off? if so, do i need to replace them asap?
thanks for the help everyone
