Terminal engine noise?
 
In the vague hope that anyone is still reading this group,
Lesley's 147 2.0TS broke down, and the engine sounds
terminal, but just in case, anyone have a clue what this
noise might be caused by?

I would read here every day, if there was something to read. ;-)

Ouch! My first guess would be piston rod bearings. But I would get
a decent diagnosis before you do anything. And try not to run the
engine in the mean time. If it's the bearings, the crankshaft also
needs to be replaced.

I thought there was something fishy about the butler. Probably a Pisces,
working for scale.

The 147 has been languishing in the garage since then, but we
put it on ebay for spares or repair.

But.

Someone popped up with a message to say that the noise was
the variator, and was not expensive to fix (he wasn't
offering to fix it, just trying to be helpfull!)
