The A617 dual carriageway bypasses Rainworth, travelling west to Chesterfield and east to Newark; the main route running through the village is Southwell Road East. Since Mansfield is only four miles away, you could compare garages in both locations to see which best meets your requirements. Although the village doesn't have a railway station, plenty of bus services stop in Rainworth, including ones to Newark, Mansfield and Nottingham. There are stops on Southwell Road East and Helmsley Road.
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.
