Help/Advice needed

[Kylefly]

I've not had my zed long (about a month) and I've suddenly noticed a knocking/rattling noise at around 2-2500rpm from the engine.(I'm unsure if the noise seizes after this range because the general noise of the engine and exhaust gets too loud, plus I don't want to rag the tits off it if theres a potential problem!) Its more audible when revving/accelerating and it kind of sounds like a noise a diesel engine would make. The noise isn't that loud and you can't hear it when driving but theres definately cause for concern.

 

A few guys at zedfest on the sat had a listen and advised to change the oil asap. (current oil levels are normal and its never been too low) Im doing this the weekend but can anyone advise of a specialist around the midlands area if not? (I live near Cannock)Or does this sound familiar to anyone?

 

Any advice would be much appreciated

I've changed my oil and the noise is still there. Definately seems to be louder when accelerating. Can anybody help? I'm not very technical so I have no idea what this could be. Oil level/temp/pressure is fine and the car drives fine and idles smoothly with no unusual noise. Please help, I'm dying to start modding my zed and make it my own. I don't trust any local garages and have been told not to take it to nissan...

To be on the safe side I would recommend that you do not drive the car until you get an informed diagnoses.

 

Also if you can PM me over a sound track then I hopefully should be able to help you with this.
