What the fuck is this noise?

HELP! What the bloody hell is this loose rattling sound in the Amazon engine bay?

Get a big flat screwdriver out and use your ear

[Station]

Get a mechanic's stethoscope thingy. I'd imagine the chain would manage a worse noise. Can't you take the cover off?

I can, it's four fucking massive crosshead screws.At that point I had no tools and a pigeon shitting in the garage, so I was slightly pre occupied.

Sounds suspiciously like someone noshing crisps in your engine bay.

Take the fan belt off and see if the noise goes away.

Either that or check the belt tension, my zodiac was making a similar din from the front of the engine which everyone that heard it including mechanics thought to be the timing chain, about a month ago I noticed that the fan belt was loose, after being tightened the noise stopped!....
