There's a right aul mad rattle comin' out of me car when I accelerate...

Everytime I press the accelerator, something in my car rattles or resonates. It's coming from the engine I think. It doesn't resonate when I'm crusing at a constant speed though. I've heard this coming from a lot of cars so I'm guessing it's a common problem. Anyone know what the mcjaysus it is?

- worn engine mounts, causing the engine / gearbox to hit something under acceleration

- loose exhaust

just a few of the possible causes

Loose exhausht eh? Is that just a matter of tightening a few screws or would it be a garage job...

That very much depends on what's loose / broken.

Try the old shake,rattle & roll on the cold exhaust first ..see can you find something.
