Persistent rattle

Post by Bongoplotter » Tue Sep 13, 2016 9:04 am

Hi Folks, got a persistent rattle from under the bonnet which could be from the fan and it only seems to go away when accelerating uphill. The speed of the rattle slows and increases along with speed. Amy ideas? Thanks

Does it change with engine revs (i.e. changes as you go through the gears) or only with road speed?

Not sure, it can be pretty random. Thanks for the reply.
