Jaguar was founded in 1922 when it was initially called the Swallow Sidecar Company; since then, it has become a quintessentially British car brand. There are lots of quirky facts about Jaguar that most people don't know. For example, before its vehicles are painted, they are brushed with ionised emu feathers to prevent the metal from attracting dust. Jaguar has also won the world's oldest endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, seven times, making it the fourth most successful manufacturer.

Ticking and rattling are two closely related - and equally annoying - noises you might hear from your car. If you listen closely to where the sound is coming from and when it happens (while accelerating, for instance), you might be able to work out the cause.The first thing to check is whether the engine oil is low, requiring a top-up - this is the best-case scenario. If your car is rattling and the sound is coming from the engine, it could be caused by a loose or cracked serpentine belt. From the car's rear, it might be a loose exhaust or a broken catalytic converter, and the other possibility is worn suspension, which can cause rattling from the front or rear of the vehicle. Possible explanations for ticking include worn spark plugs, knocking engine rods, dirty valve lifters and misaligned valves.
