The hole is one tooth out? You can see the edge of the smaller cogs hole, but would not be able to get a bolt thru it.

Any help would be much appreciated x

So after a bit of reading,
Sometimes I can't belive I'm this dim, the dots line up, but the holes dont quite line up they're close, but all the teeth line up.......
I am Confused about this, but would that suggest that the rattle could be coming from this area?

I've just had the cam cover off. Just at going to have a look into service bolt position to check, ima have a search on here before i Continue, thanks alot.
I don't have any car fwiends or use the Internet much at all, no Facebook etc so I shall leave a post on here ive seen a few about in the area so I shall put a post up else where on here and see what sort of shout backs I get, thanks again callum, got me out of bed, where I was sulking hehe

It took them nearly four weeks to get it back to me and as I said it still didn't work.
Unfortunately though the noise almost dies off the higher the rpms, its between 2 and 3k
Went out to see her after your replies and noticed a little puddle of oil dripping out onto the scuttle panel left hand side, which could have only developed since the rattle got worse. I will have to explore and add more about that, baught tears to me eyes :$
Thanks so much for the input.

The comment about the high idle was because I had wondered if he had made it idle differently when it wasn't running right without the Map sensor.
If I now unplug the map sensor it wavers around 1k and at that point in the rev range the lil beasty isn't sounding asif she's chewing herself.
The line definitely always ran to the map, but at some point would have been T'd off for a boost gauge perhaps?
I basically took it to them because of the mad cars they have outside, usually subarus and evos, mostly look track orientated. Set me back 1300 quid including cam belt change and some other bits and bobs gearbox oil changed and a service. I think the garage itself is OK, but the young lad they had working on my car, really wound me up, very quickly. Staring me in The eyes lying to me ><
Thanks for your input gents.
so it could just be the cams rattling their bags off?
I am, really not the most capable of people in any walk of life and so the idea of getting stuck into me is terrifying.

There are no lights being thrown up on the dash, minus the low petrol light that stays on with a full tank ^^

So, just to level with any potential help, I am utterly clueless and ramble because of that xD
I purchased a glanza v at christmas, very quickly after I had issues, that turned out to be a crack around the stud where the ex manifold bolts to the head.
So I gave it to a garage, for removal, and they sent it off for welding etc.
My car returned, not working properly (fine untill you hit boost) no lights on dash for boost either
The work receipt had a note on it...
' running rich ( lamba, map???????)'
Anyway, under my own totally untrained eye, I spotted a vac line running out of the inlet mani with a bolt pushed into the end, which should have run into the little box on the left side of the firewall, is it a maf sensor? I'm not sure, anyway this lil box had a plastic nib on the bottom that you would usually attach the vac line to.
it had been snapped off during its time there, and on my return to say, here gents why is this broken, and could this be why my car isn't running correctly.
The lad who'd actually done the work denied having any contact at all with this lines and tried to tell me that is as it arrived, now not only did it sort of boost before it arrived but the lights worked etc, I'm a thick fuck but i know that there wasn't a vac line dangling with a bolt in the end of it when I purchased the car.
I didn't really get anything out of the garage other than starting to loose my temper, and so i bodged the vac line to the bottom of the little box. ((the one on the left of the fire wall))
My car began to idle at around 2k, but she ran sweet as a nut otherwise, so being the silly boy that I am, and having waited 6months to get her on the road, I have been driving her around for the last month
And yesterday she started making an allllll mighty clattering sound on idle, sounds like she's eating herself. The rattle continues but after 3k disappears, however the noise by the time I had crawled her home was much worse and what originally sounded like a little rattle, is now a clatter.
I think I can assume that the high idle is down to how the lad who blocked the vac line set it, because of missing the connection and wanting to still get it out the door.
My question is, have I killed my baby, by being impatience and utterly stupid by letting her idle high for the last four weeks
(no long runs, just work and back, few cheeky late night tinder match visits)
Or is it possible something has come a little loose from the work done on the head (the reason I mentioned the mechanics attitude towards the broken maf sensor and blocked vac line)
Im in the midlands. Any input massively appreciated, I paid a fortune to have the work to the head done, and i want to know if it's me that's killed her.
She's entirely standard.
I'm coming up to 7grand on her now all in all and I've probably put about 250miles down ://
Thanks for reading if you made it to the end.
If anyone needs to hear it before any input shout up and I'll brave running her breifly to get something up for clarity.

Jim sounds like a legend!

When you say on the car, does this mean you didnt take it off? :$
-
Just a little overwhelming, as I have little to no experience relivent, and lack any useful buddies :') I've sent some pictures off to a few firms hope to hear back soon for some price estimations.
Anything in particular to uprate or check whilst my beautiful motors in bits?
Entirely stock.
Any input highly appreciated x

Exaust, exactly as his is in the pictures.
Thanks for info. Gutted.

So I've just payed top whack for my dream car, has exactly the same issue, how did you tackle it, what was the cost, if repaired?
Loud knocking sound after head repair

The little in that sentence makes me worry. It started of little, but by the time I got home it was properly loud.
Its definitely a start though, something I can sort myself, hopefully.
