Engine rattle

May 16, 20196 yr

First hello to all.

yesterday I purchased a 2.5 v6 s estate from eBay sight unseen(I know no head) if the car was driven to me and all was fine a distance of 100 miles.

Car seemed fine with new mot on Tuesday. All lights came on and went out as they should,I test drove it and apart from a slight squeal on some seemed ok.Deal done. I noticed a slight tapping from the engine today when parked and driving. Any ideas? I got this car to fill in while I am having work done to my classics which are primitive by this spec except for a 4ltrv8 Lexus engine. So if this is likely to be a simple fix or just drive it! I would love to keep it. I know the information is vague so ask me more and I will try to be. more specific btw no oil in the water or vice versa

Regards to all

Paul

Jaguar marks 90 years of fearless design with a poignant moment: SS Jaguar and the brand’s most recent release, Type 00, appear outside The Chancery Rosewood. The property’s fusion of mid‑century, modernist lines and contemporary British artistry reflects Jaguar’s own artistic endeavour.
