Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks all. I've got an alternator, so it can't be a dynamo issue. It does sound like a bearing rattling around which is why it was suspected it might be the water pump. I'll pass these posts onto my mechanic and suggest the timing chain is looked at too.

Hi all, My 1958 Morris has a rattle coming from under the bonnet; at first I thought it might have been from the heating unit under the dashboard, as whilst I'm sat behind the wheel it sounded like it was coming from right in front of me. However, I managed to film the sound when the car was stopped...
