Oh No - Rattling noise from engine bay on nearside

[magicTuscan]

Driving last Saturday when suddenly get a vibrating feeling in the pedal when I press down. No loss of power.
Almost has the same feeling as when a HT lead comes loose.
Theres a very tiny rattling sounds coming from the engine bay (near side).

Am hoping it's the coil pack :-) and not the engine (tappets or followers)

Anyone experienced this before?

When my coil pack was on the way out, the engine would misfire when accelerating hard.

I had shim jump out once but that was a loud clatter proportionate to the revs.
If you suspect this, don't run the engine because the shim can screw the engine if it travels.

Good luck.

Might be a broken n/s engine mount.

Would affect the pedal feel and sounds which does not change with speed ?

I had the same problem it was the nearside engine mount starting to break and hitting the heat shielding
