grmbl, my car has developed some engine troubles (clicking/ticking noise).

Started when I pulled up from a traffic light. Some bang, followed by the clicking/ticking noise. Eased her home on the b-roads around here where I was just about to have some rpm fun Crying

The noise starts around 2000 rpm, under load. Idling is very rough, and sometimes just stalls. When clutch is pressed, there's is a slight "tinkling" when revving.

I have no idea where to start looking, but proooooobably under the valve covers, and probably some bearings. Don't know. Not enough experience for this.

Long live youtube, my engine sounds a bit like this guy's 20V:

and his related movies do not bode well for my 16V bluetop Crying
