    first of all the car is a 1995 Subaru Impreza 1.6 with a little over 80,000 miles on the clock.
    Recently the engine started to make a serious rattle in lower gears especially starting off from stand-still. it doesnt seem to be happening in the higher gears for some reason.
    I had a look under the car and under the bonnet but i cant see anything obvious that could be making this sound.
    earlier in the week i hit a pot-hole on the road, not at a serious speed but it still felt hard enough...has this anything to do with it?
    Any help is much appreciated...should i take it to a garage asap to avoid any serious damage?
    Thanks.

    You sure its not a gearbox problem, any gear oil leaking?
    Dont think the pot hole is an issue unless its a suspension problem that you can only hear at low speed, will be expensive to be honest with you if its the gearbox.

    No ones going to be able to help you on a message board with this one. Visit a garage.
