Does anyone know a good fair-priced diesel engine repair garage, went to the one at the end of Argyle St but looks like it's been taken over. Got a stilo jtd that's started tapping recently which has more recently turned into an intermittent clapping when accelerating at low revs & sounds like a diesel/fiesta 1.1 popular when going past 3000rpm- don't think it's "diesel knock" from the injectors. Camshaft bearing also seems to be whining. The noises emminate from the head of the engine, i've flushed the engine + oil & filter change to clear out any deposits that may have built up around the tappets etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If you see/hear a 'bag of nails' stilo driving around-
yep, That'll be me!!

Bottom end bearings can echo up to the top mate and sound similar to an injector knock. If your confidant, pull the sump and have a check.

Try Peter Jones, he is in Argyle Street, next to the Argyle trading estate. I have used him twice. He is cheap, quick and good.
