Rattling Noise

[AndyLUFC]

Hello,

New here and by no means a car expert.

Wondered if anyone had any experience with a rattling noise my 1.0 K11 Y reg Micra has just started making.

it rattles intermittently on idle and when I am driving or reeving on low revs its a bit more constant.

Any ideas?? i will get a video of the noise, its coming from the Off side of the engine bay.

Just want to know if its gonna be an urgent and expensive fix or if it will be alright

already replaced near side CV joint airflow meter and 300 quid on the mot in the last 7 months...

Sounds like it - cheapest fix ever, tighten or remove.

Thanks I will look into that!

I have a video now the rain has held off for 2 seconds



was making a nastier noise when it was cold but took it for a run and seemed to "quiet" down a bit.

also when i was cold it lacked some power going up a rather steep hill, but once again once the car was warm seemed ok.
