St Neots has excellent road links thanks to the nearby A428, which links to Cambridge (40 minutes away by car); the A421, which links to Bedford and Milton Keynes; and the A1 trunk road, connecting to London further south. The Bedford Autodrome driving complex is 12 miles from St Neots if you fancy an automotive-themed day out. There are several bus operators in the town, including Stagecoach and Whippet, and the railway station is 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.
