#1: knocking noise and service question Author: donkeyding, Location: manchesterPosted: Mon Jan 16, 2012 1:06 pm ---- Evening,
when ever i set of slowly or set off just on the clutch i get a knocking noise. Had a nosey round and i presume it is going to be the gearbox/ engine mount.
Unfortunatly i really don't know any history of the car so I am going to be doing the cam belt and alternator belt and tensioners.
In the process whilst I remove the engine mount to do the cambelt I may aswell replace ALL the mounts.
Question is how many engine/ gearbox are there, and where is the best place to get them??
Also here is my service shopping list is there anything that I am missing or should buy?
*engine flush
*k&n panel filter
*pollen filter
*oil filter
*bosch super 4 spark plugs
*fuel filter
*oil been advised 10w40
*cam belt and tensioner
*alternator belt and tensioner
As I said I will also be replacing engine/gearbox mounts.
Anythign else or advise please let me know
cheers
dave
