Warrington is a large town, so you can expect to encounter heavy traffic at certain times when driving through the centre. It is close to the M6, M62 and M56 motorways and has five primary A roads. There are several crash hotspots in Warrington, including Cockhedge Roundabout, Winwick Road and Bridge Foot. The council repaired 580 potholes in the town in 2021; Cheshire (the county in which Warrington resides) is the eighth worst in England for potholes.

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.
