anoying problem

[steve85]

got an anoying rattle but only when the water temp gets to around 90 degrees. is this a bearing in the water pump gone or is it the common exhaust problem? has anyone had this??

think it just goes dry  dont think there is even any way to lubricate it

is this bad? it only starts to make the rattle at 2k revs but is very anoying. didnt see how it could be the exhaust or downpipe loose when its fine first thing in the morning when cold. have heard it will be a big job if it is the water pump bearing due to it being run off the cambelt and very hard to get to.

dont think they are too bad just fiddly. must admit i just took mine to a garage and let em do it.
