    ok ive sorted most of the above but the tapping/rattle is still there, i dont think (hopeit isnt ) the chains as it only rattles on accelerating rather than on overdrive, lifter maybe???? do ya recon an engine flush will sort it??

    got my vr on the road yesterday and its now my main family car as i sold my meriva this afternoon, BUT i decided to go for a dive with the kids and after about 10 mins it started running BAD, mifiring, juddering, not reving over 31/2k and worst of all a tapping at idle which turns into rattle at higher revs also sounds like there is air blowing from the back of the engine (hissing) and a sound like running water in the same area.Is my car dying??????????????? PLEASE HELP

    i have a set of 17's with good tyres sat in my garage from my old car and i need 3 new tyres on my vr so i was just gonna whack the 17's on the vr but i dont know the fittment of the 17's, my old car the fit was 4/100 but they are the multifit ones that will take either 4 or 5 stud, so does that mean they will be 4/100 and 5/100 also will they rub? the suspension is still stock, thanks

    cheers bud yes it stays in gear when it does it but no noises from the gear box yes when i touch the accelerator on and off the is a feel of a knock but no noise if that makes sense and the gear lever doesnt move changing gear feels smooth as except in first it feels like the lever is to far forward but this is probally normal as my vaux is very short between the gears the bang it makes is very much like hitting a pot hole HARD but definatly wasnt one ;-) the guy at the garage i used said it may be the torque bar ????? never heard of it myself but as long as im not to hard the the clutch its
  16. dru
    Anyone any ideas???

    hope this is in the right place. got got my vr out of the garage and took it out for a spin before it goes back in, i was giving it a bit of pasty in 1st and change quickly in to second and there was an almighty BANG it had enugh force to make the cd jump, its also does it 2nd to 3rd but not as bad, does it sound like something major or just the torque on the engine , thanks
