Just bought a new to me 86 Carrera - drove it home, been driving it around, no obvious issues - until late yesterday, and now today - hearing a very concerning rattle from behind me. Sounds like something banging... Doesn't seem like piston/engine - but can't be sure.

Tried to capture it in the video - not sure it is coming through or now.. if so, anybody have any suggestions?

unless its a gear rattle.. ( i dont click on links ) . i would look underneath and see if the sway bar mounts have broken away from the body

this is not a huge deal if it is and a common repair.

Turns out the crankshaft pulley was loose.... someone forgot to torque it... got it tightened all up, new fan pulley, belt... no more weird rattling!

wow that could have ended badly, glad it was an easy fix
