Hi
When I get to 1800 revs the car makes a kind of roar/loud rattle sound and then disappears as the revs go higher or lower. Also, when starting the car from cold there is a rattle from low down at the back of the engine. I have just taken it to an exhaust specialist as I thought it was the Cat. They put it on the ramp and said the noise was coming from the bottom of the engine. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is? Just lately there has been a whinig sound (a bit like a jet engine) coming from the bottom as I'm driving along. This only occurs on odd occassions, not all the time. I think it's all the same problem but not sure what it is. Has anyone else experienced anything like this.
Regards
