Hello
My 1997 Micra has a rattle coming from the front sounds like its somewhere in the middle. Its only when i accelerate, when im idle and seems to sound a little bit louder when i have the heating on. Its never a problem when im driving down motorways or even over 30mph, ive also just noticed today that the temp gauge isnt working its stuck at the bottom but the heating and air con are still coming on. Could anyone please help, ive had the car 2 months and have recently had all the breaks done which cost me a fair bit so wondered if anyone knows what it may be and roughly how much it would cost to repair?
Many Thanks.
