[danny-vts]

what kind of noise?
is there any oil in it?

[stevo67]

Is the noise like this mate? Saxo Rattle - YouTube

[dazz86vts]

hi its inbetween a knock and a tap its not overly loud but u can here it on idle as i say it doesnt get louder its got fresh oil and is fine on the dip stick, also my breather pipe (which is red silicone hose) from the head to the air filter(which is stainless pipe with filter on the end) keeping coming off for some reason and its done up with a jubalee clip??

As above, Take off the cam cover and take a look, Or post a video of the funny noise and someone on here might be able to help.
Without any information on what sort of noise it is, its almost impossible to help lol.

PS. Why does the car NEED lowering before its put into use?

[axsaxoman]

it may not get louder but the frequency of the noise does that change as you rev it
pull and push the cambelt cover --see if noise changes ,they can distort with age and start to otuch the cam pullies

[dazz86vts]

i cant really see anythink wrong, the noise is inbetween a knock and a tap also the breather pipe from the head to the air filter keeps coming off the air filter end even tho its got a jubalee clip on it i have a stainless pipe with a cone filter. i didnt need lowering just fort while its off the road get it done

[mcsurui]

"ill try taking the cam covers off and running it"

[holdawayt]

Words like "doesn't" really shouldn't be abbreviated. Especially when your shortened version is the exact opposite of what you're trying to say.

[holdawayt]

Hang on do you mean cam belt cover or cam cover?

[DanTvts]

Cambelt tensioner maybe?

[samstar]
