i can't really explain it properly.. but like.. when you rev the engine normally it has that regular sound - now that sound is much much louder. Also accompanying it is a bit of a gurgling sound, and most notably - an added rustling sound.. which is perhaps opposite the glovebox area? its hard to describe .. when you lift the bonnet, the whole area just sounds like shit.

as you can see i'm no mechanic, but i'm not sure what else to add. The cars done 109,000. I did the 80,000km service at 90,000, (when i got the car) and have been meaning to do the 100,000 at around 110,000. Took it to honda for the last service - so i presume the parts aren't dodgy? Sure its in need of a service, but it feels like its dying ..

Any advice/help would be appreciated - or if anyone knows someone good to take the teg to...
Hey mate i think that you should service the car more regularly. Wear and tear in the gears causes the oil to contain metal chips/elements and may do futher damage to your car. Take care and good luck.
