Been having a bit of ongoing strange noises coming from the engine and I am wondering if this is something serious I ought to get checked out. It seems to be most noticeable when slowing down and pulling away in second gear, like when slowing down to turn at a junction or over a speed bump. The car makes a squeaky splutter noise as if it is struggling. Anyone got any suggestions?

Is the noise coming from the passenger, I think that it's the G forces acting on the food in Paul's belly!

If I was to make a wild guess I would say it's coming from around where the belts live...

Crank pulley? Might be worth checking the belts... (the SC one too)
