After travelling for 80 miles this morning i stopped in a carpark anyway i noticed that when i revved the engine to 2000rpm when the vehicle was stationary i noticed that the engine rattled or tapped from the engine bay on the drivers side. The vehicle was only serviced and mot'd 2 weeks ago and nothing was picked up then also the car has only done 63k its a year 2000 w regcan anyone enlighten me as to the problem.

This could be the crank pulley starting to come apart. It's been covered, in depth, on here before.

It's the pulley that drives the "fan" belt on the front of the engine.

If you need to ask; then it's best to leave it to a pro. It's not a job you'd want to mess up and wreck the whole engine.

You mean the long auxiliary drive belt that drives the aircon, power steering & alternator.

The way to check the bottom pulley is to time the engine up as for a cambelt change, if all the timing marks line up apart from the bottom pulley you then 100% know it needs replacing.
