Driving a few miles today and noticed a clicking noise which seems to be coming from the front of the car. I think it's from the engine but can't be sure.

When mine did this we discovered that two of the spark plugs were trying to escape and we're only half way in

Bloody hell! Just had mine changed, might be it. Someone suggested lifters, is that a car part or an exercise ;-)

Being told by garage that it could be brake pads rattling in the carriers. Anti rattle clips duly ordered from Rockauto

In the end we were driving around like Ace Ventura trying to work out where the noise was coming from :lol:
