Subject: Strange rattling noise from the engine - my tacho is going mad!




Hello guys,

just a strange one this time (well I thought so anyway!)

I do not usually rev the engine too hard.

Last few days I had some strange noises from the engine when trying to rev
above 6000rpm. Not always, just a couple of times. It was a rather rattling
noise (the kind of noise that makes you go "oh shit, something has broken
in the engine /transmission/gearbox!!!") and at the same time the
tachometer was going mad. Kind of like when you pull the clutch repeatedly
I guess, but again somehow different...

I know it probably does not make much sense, but I can't find any pattern
on it.

Any experiences, ideas, advice, always welcome.

Cheers
George
