Nasty noise?
Nasty noise?
Well,
Not having much luck fellas.
On the way home tonight it developed a nasty noise:
Not the engine - sounds sweet.
Don't "think" it's the gearbox (at) as it shifts smoothly as normal.
Not suspension / drive train, as I can make the car make the noise in N & D. I have to rev it to maybe 3k though.
Noise is a tinny metallic rattle, most prevalent when giving it power under load, circa 1500-3500rpm. It could still be making the noise over 3500, but is probably getting drowned out by the engine by then.
I'm kinda suspecting exhaust? Maybe a baffle or buggered cat?
Any ideas guys, or have you had anything similar?
Thanks in advance as usual.

Re: Nasty noise?
Look on this forum for a price of a used cat, you will be shocked.
I would guess 100 pounds. They have platinum inside as well as other pricey materials.
Re: Nasty noise?
All done chaps.
I also had the ignition leads replaced and the crank sensor replaced at the same time.
It got rid of my slightly rough idling issue.
The crank sensor was precautionary, as I'm aware these can be an issue and I have no idea if its been replaced in the past.
Not looking forward to the day the back box on the exhaust fails - they are not even listed over here!! Fortunately, mine still looks quite solid.

Re: Nasty noise?
I am currently dealing with the same issue, does anyone have suggestions on where to get the cat for a fair price?
