Woking is 29 miles from central London, roughly an hour and twenty minutes by car, and is connected to the national motorway network by junction 3 of the M3 and junction 11 of the M25. In 2016, McLaren built its 10,000th supercar at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking. There are just two north-south routes for road vehicles across the Southampton to London railway line in the town centre, and these often suffer from congestion at peak times.

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.
