West Thurrock is in Essex, close to the Dartford Crossing and the M25 orbital motorway. It's also near the A13, which links to London further west and travels northeast to South Benfleet. There are several electric vehicle charging points in the Lakeside area near the shopping centre. Ensignbus operates most bus routes in West Thurrock, with regular services between Grays, Lakeside and Tilbury Square. The nearest railway station is Chafford Hundred, on the London, Tilbury and Southend 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.
