may be timing belt slapping on belt cover [poss needs adjusting]if it was on cam or crank you would expect noise to be on all the time. can you get noise on when stationary-when not pressing any pedals?

no its not anything to do with clutch,or thrush baring , its coming from the engine its self, half way down with the revs it makes a noise , then put my foot down more it goes , defenetly engine , but is it cam or tappets or lifters , or bottom end , ?/ or is it just dying on me cous its a old k reg van , ??? someone h e l p ??

if noise is on when stationary depress clutch, if noise goes it will poss be clutch plate springs rattling!
