Hi guys - after a 4 year gap, just got myself another rangie - an early '93 3.9 vogue se auto, 91k and pretty genuine / straight. A few niggling little faults but one that's really annoying me - hope you might be able to help ???
There's a really annoying rattle coming from the bellhousing area that I just can't put my mind to - it sounds like a loose timing chain (but is definitely not from the tx box or engine timing chain) - thought it could be an exhaust clamp but nothing loose there. I thought it may be broken catalyst ?? As I understand it there's nothing really in the bellhousing in an auto? Its there all the time the engine's hot but not when cold, hence the cat thought... Only really notice it when idling and its there whether drive's selected or not.
If it is a loose cat can I convert back to a real exhaust legally ?
thanks in advance,
Iain
