Post by david49uk on Mar 28^th, 2010, 10:21pm

as anybody had this problem when i switch my engine of it stops then from the back right hand side looking from the front there is a noise that sounds like a rattle for a few secounds. also i took a couple of plugs out on bank one there was oil on two plugs quite a bit on the one, it looked like it was on the tip of the plug but was definitly on the outside , dave

Hi Dave,
not sure about the rattle but oil on the plugs is the gasket leaking. Shouldn't be a problem if it's just a little oil. Mine's being doing it for years and get about a teaspoons worth out of each pot/year.

Just noticed the censors dont like 's p o o n s' and replaces it with 'thingys' }{

Loose converter bolts, cracked drive plate or rattly cat by the sounds of it.
