Cramlington is nine miles north of Newcastle, between the A1, A189 and A19 roads. It has several electric vehicle charging stations (including on Nelson Way and Blagdon Lane) and car parks. After you've dropped your car off at the garage, the best way to travel in Cramlington is by bus or train. Arriva operates regular bus routes to Newcastle and Ashington, and Cramlington railway station is on Station Road. Trains run on the East Coast Main Line.
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.
