hey guys, jus wonderin if anyone out there has had the same thing happen...

at a certain amount of revs (which i dont know bcoz wen i hear it i am under the bonnet) i hear this strange rattling, vibratin noise, it is at the front of the engine, but i can hear it both sides, and my uncle said it may be a pulley has come loose...so if anyone thinks they know wat it could be let me know coz its startin to piss me off, and also...

my ef just b4 it changes from 1st - 2nd (auto) i hear this great wiirr sound i dont know if it could be the diff, or tranny...???

ur input will help thanx u

The rattling from the front of the engine sounds like it could be a loose timing chain. it is common for the timing chain guides to break.

where abouts do i find it...like what do i have to take off to see how it is? and can i start the engine with it showing? to see if it is that rattling... and also how much would a new one cost??? thanx[/quote]

The whirr sound seems like diff or bearings... But if it ain't coming from behind you it may be the transmission, i would say diff tho?

yeh i was thinkin that...ahwell...looks like time for an lsd...hehe

I would defiantly say it is a loose timing chain, I've had the exact noise on mine before. I would get it looked at ASAP, mine had jumped a tooth when it was loose. Its not to hard to adjust, but it does need to be done correctly..
Good luck.
