Subject: Strange rattling noise from the engine - my tacho is going mad!
>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...
About this rattling noise again. Somebody told me they had the same problem
with a BMW car. After a month, while waiting in the trafic lights, shifting
on first gear was not anymore enough to make the car move. The car needed a
new gearbox for Christ's sake!!! Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!
