href="/services/mini">MINI has been owned by German car-making giant BMW since 2000, but it was already making waves in the automotive world many years before. In 1961, the iconic Morris Minor became the first British car to have sold more than one million units. Then, in 2014, the original Mini was named Britain's favourite car of all time an astounding 55 years after its launch, beating the Jaguar E-Type and even the McLaren F1 supercar.
Despite the confidence of Aurelio Lampredi - Fiat's chief designer - that the Mini would never be a true rival because it was "so damned ugly", the enduring popularity of the model and its manufacturer suggest otherwise.
There are over 460 MINI clubs in the UK. This guide discusses how much you can expect to pay to service your MINI.
Ticking and rattling are two closely related 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 serpentine belt or timing chain. 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. You can learn more about these issues here.
Ticking and rattling noises should be taken seriously as they sometimes indicate a problem with the engine that could cause further damage if ignored.
