Stourport is a few miles north of Worcester, served by the A4025 road, which travels southeast to Crossway Green, and the A451, which runs southwest to Great Witley. It is also close to the A449 between Stafford and Newport and the A456 from Birmingham to Woofferton. Stourport doesn't have a train station - the nearest one is in Kidderminster - so if you need public transport, it's best to catch the bus. There is a stop on the High Street.
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.
