Hello, so the other day, I found that my car was throwing up the DTC P0011. So my thoughts were that I had to change my chain link kit, so I bought a kit online. And unfortunately the bolt which connected it to the exhaust cam shaft; was busted so I had to replace the cam exhaust shaft aswell...

Hi all, Pretty sure I've got the dreaded cam chain rattle but having a slight disagreement with my local specialist. I've managed to record the sound a couple of times It does it mostly when the car has warmed up and on the Auto stop/start function. Not very often from cold. It's now doing...
