You dont need photobucket to remove a plug leak & put a socket on it. lol

Take the red spark plug cover off and have a look under it to see if the lead thats falling off is connected to the spark plug and if the spark plug is still screwed into the engine;)

Why did you film it with the lead off?

Could be anything really - doesnt sound like the bottom end though, but it is hard to say...

I had a corsa once which was making similar noises, turned out it was the water pump

Sounds like a good thing to try.

Check the tension in the cambelt.

If it has play, around the waterpump (Impellor) moving then its fooked.

Also, check all the plugs, adams 106gti had this, knocking it cokc off, untill we tightened a loose pluglol

Use a power bar or similar as a stethoscope to locate the problem.

I'll try all these things guys! The water pump & belt are brand new.. But will take a look. Also guna check the cam shafts, mabye it's come loose/bent or something but can't see why it would of?

I've found one of the ht leads have corroded inside! Even thou they're all new? But I now know the knocking is coming from the gearbox.. When I pit the clutch in it goes away!?? Hmm

Two totally seperate issues.

There are garages for this purpose. :thumb:

Garage? That's boring & always expensive!lol and since I don't want to drive it anywere I don't fancy pushing it miles down the road to one! When I get it on my ramp around the corner I'll have to take it apart, seems like the only way to solve it..

Thing is, a mechanics diagnosis doesnt always have to result in a workshop booking. You can always go away & say you'll be in touch after pay-day. But fair enuff for not driving it.

You dont sound like a mechanic, yet youre about to take it apart! lol

I ain't a mechanic yet I rebuilt it & fitted it and it's been fine for aaaaages! lol

sorted the knocking problew but still stuck with this! it sounds like its only firing on 3 cylinders? and stinks of fuel when running, checked the plugs/leads all fine.. think the col packs pooped!
