Taunton is in the county of Somerset, where people travelled 4.13 billion vehicle miles in 2021. It is home to the County Classics Motor Museum, with various vehicles from the late 1950s to the 1980s. Electric cars are popular in Somerset West and Taunton; there was a 75% increase in ownership between 2021 and 2022. The bus station is on Tower Street, and the railway station is on the Reading to Taunton and Bristol to Exeter lines.
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.

We think they're great. But don't just take our word for it...
Quick to respond, but could not use due to timing.
Completed on time and on price. Thank you.
Great service. Would use again
