right, it seems as though the knocking (which i am pretty sure it is) is coming from the top. like underneath the rocker cover. it also feels like it is, when i put my hand there, i felt a kind of knocking. it was faint, but syncronized with the knocking sound.
however, i cant be 100% sure. is there a way to check properly if its from top or bottom? anything i can listen for?? id say 90% its from there. it defintly sounds like, and feels like.
i didnt see a cable tie anywhere aroud the dissy. i bought the car from portsmouth, you may have seen it around antony215, will put pics up soon.
another question, can a 1.3 radiator be used on a 1.6 RST.? i just inspected my radiator, and it has had repairs done to it before, maybe 6 or seven times! think it could be related?
