My guess is main bearings are stuffed.   It could possibly be clutch, but i'd be more confident on it being engine bearings.     -----Original Message----- From: kla [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 18 January 2005 9:06 AM To: membersozdat@datascribe.com.au Subject: Strange rattling Ok.. ill explain the symptoms and if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.. Its on a manual transmition.   The car makes this rattling noise.. if you can picture in your head someone dragging a glass bottle on a string along the road... thats what it kkinda sounds like. its very loud, and can be heard clearly within the car while driving. It only makes this sounds sometimes. when IN gear with no gas on. if you are in neutral, or you have the clutch it, or you give the accelerator even the slightest push.. the noise stops. A common time it will happen,, a small round about. you come up to it, shift down to second,  and say you were turning right, as soon as you take your foot off the accelerator the rattling starts up... you put the pedal down to exit the round about and it goes away..   So yes.. any ideas? --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to membersozdat@datascribe.com.au No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to membersozdat@datascribe.com.au No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
