I seem to have a rattling noise coming from engine when at low revs. Someone suggested timing chain but according to Haynes I have a belt and not a chain. My thrust bearing is worn (has been for a while) so could it have anything to do with this?. Any help would be appreciated

1.2 8v is belt and 1.2 16v is chain. Not sure if the hydraulic tappets rattle or not.

Its 1.4 8v

As i said im not sure if hydraulic tappets make a rattling noise when they are on the way out or damaged

Just looked at the old mot and it says "exhaust vibrating against body" or somethink like that. Wonder if it could be that

That could definatley be it. Get under and see when someone revs the car

Just sat in it and reved it. It doesn't make the rattling sound at all, only when its moving and at low revs, seems to be worse if I change gear too early (put it in 4th at 20 mph)

Does it sound like its coming from under the car?

Sounds like exhaust is hitting tbh

Id say so yea. Towards the front end

Check the exhaust rubber mounts.

I'll have a look in morning. I did give the exhaust a shake the other day and it seemed solid.

Check the heat shield

I checked the one at the back, the one in the middle, it there one near the manifold?

Should be one covering it but alot get removed because they rattle
