You say its not mint? What is up with it apart from the engine? Also how many miles has it got, what colour is it etc etc

its silver grey got 36600 on clock interior is clean and tidy outside there is some stone chips on bonnet ,small scrape on drivers side rear wheel arch,couple of little car park dents . it starts and drives fine apart from this noise which to me sounds like shell bearings.overall it has not had a great home it could do with some tyres.

shell bearings are crankshaft bearings .main bearings hold crankshaft and shell bearings are connected to conrods

I've worked out what the shell bearings are! ;)

With a little help from people who know the inside of the engine. :$
