Use an old bit of vacuum hose. One end in your ear, move the other end around the engine and you will hear it get louder as you home in on where the noise is coming from. Sounds daft, but it really works.
That's a good idea! I will give it a try. It does come and go, I have a horrible feeling it may be the thrust bearings on the crank
Apparently this can be caused from manual transmissions as there's no dampening when in gear, or so that's what i read.
