Hi guys there's a few issues I'd like some answers for if anyone has them, when the car is idling away you can here a clunking noise coming from the engine bay looked about could see anything obvious (weak mounts or rattle covers anywhere) also when pulling through first and second (sometimes thirds there's a really cringe worthy ratchety noise as if something about to snap? I'm assuming it's he gearbox but lasso not sure

Lastly does anyone think this car has ahead a sh**t respray or something because the paint looks very weird and I'm noticing more and more chips as the days go on like down the the metal kinda chips really pissing me off and starting to get worried seems like everytime
I wash the car more paint works ruined I use a soft brush on tyres and car sponge and some cloths and dry with microfibre I've done it with all my cars and never had a problem.


Thanks for reading!

Check gearbox mount (under the car not the one under the battery tray)
When it comes to noises a sound rec file would help.

About the paint... it's well known that fiat paint is very thin.
 
There doesn't seem to be and option to upload video as I have one? But thanks for advice
