I was hoping to get some advice / guidance.
I have a loud noise that sounds like its coming from the engine - I can only liken it to the noise I got when I stuck a lollypop stick in the spokes of my BMX (well over 20 years ago  ) The noise disappears when I have my foot on the accelerator or when the car is not in gear - basically it only happens when the car is in gear and my foot is not on the accelerator. Hope that makes sense as I haven't much of a clue when it comes to what's under the bonnet. The car itself drives perfectly normal - aside from pulling to the left!! Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

You want to fix that ASAP.
Video/audio would help with the noise problem if you can ..

I only get the tattling noise when I have the car in gear and with my foot not on the accelerator. I've taken it out of car mid drive and the sound goes - then selected the appropriate gear, kept my foot of the accelerator and the noise returns. It does drive ok, loud noise apart. Thanks
