Stockton-on-Tees is served by the A19 - the most dangerous road in Teesside due to a high number of collisions - the A66 towards Middlesbrough and the A177 towards Durham. It has excellent transport links, just 5 miles from Yarm and 12 miles from Darlington, so you may want to compare car repair prices at garages in these areas. Stockton bus station is on Bridge Road, with Arriva operating most services, and the railway station is on Bishopton Lane.
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.
