Welwyn Garden City is served by the A1(M), which follows the town's western boundary, and the A414, which links to Hertford six and a half miles away (approximately a 15-minute drive). While your car is being repaired, you may need public transport, in which case there is a bus station on Osborn Way, with Arriva, Uno and Centrebus operating most services. Destinations include St Albans and Hatfield. Welwyn Garden City railway station is on the West 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.
