Why does the Morgan Zetec have a rough idle?
Bear in mind that all 16 valve engines tend to have a rougher idle than their 8 valve brethren. Also the ECU on the Morgan Zetec prioritizes low emissions over good performance so even on a perfect car, there will be some unevenness of idle as the ECU searches for the very lowest emissions.
Why are my shock absorbers failing on my Fiesta Zetec?

What causes a knocking noise in a Ford Mondeo?
Solution: A common problem is a hydraulic ‘water hammer’ effect in the power steering system, whcih can cause a knocking noise.

What to do when your Ford makes noise?
Begin with checking the oil pressure. If the pressure is low, you can lean more towards a bearing. Rod bearings make more noise at the oil plan more so than anywhere else, so you’ll want to listen for audible changes in that area.

You clip the microphones to suspect points, then drive around while listening with the headphones. You can move the microphones around to zero in on the source of the noise. Be aware that many mechanics have never seen or even heard of this tool. Suspension and alignment mechanics use it to find rattles, squeaks, and other noises.
Why does my car Rattle at high speeds?
These components act as a thermo-reflective barrier between the exhaust system and other parts including gas tank, fuel lines, and the cabin of a car. When they are loose or broken, they fail to completely block the heat transfer to these key areas. As a result, you will hear frightening rattles at higher speeds.
