Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

Question
Amila G
Hi,
It's a corolla CE110 and about a week ago there was a clattering sound from the engine when it was started in the morning and slowly went away in about 5 mins (or when the engine got hot). After that day the sound comes again in some mornings but not always and it goes away in a few minutes.
The sound is exactly like a metal nut hitting the tappet cover but it s not the usual tappet sound. At first I was scared that something has gotten lose inside the engine. The sound is coming from the drivers side of the engine and may be from the diesel pump but cannot locate exactly.
I had the injectors checked and all were fine (thinking of a blocked injector as a mech suggested). Another mech said the sound is from either the vacuum pump or the alternator drive belt but the belt looks fine and the tension is also fine.
Funny thing is it's really hard to show the symptoms to mechanic as it goes away by the time I take the car to him and it only occurs in the morning. Only option is to leave the car with a mech overnight which I kinda hesitate
Apart from that there are no any other issues with it, car pulls great and has good fuel consumption. Valve clearances are not checked for about at least 100k but did not do it cause I had no issues with it. btw engine has clocked 200+ K
Any help trouble shooting this is really appriciated.
