XJR ´95 Engine idle noise
Hi
Car in question XJR (X306) with 273000 km in the odo.
As I am slightly paranoid; I am having some doubts that the engine is having big end bearing issues...
Video of engine idle :
the supercharger belt is off so the noise is not coming from there
Any ideas, opinions or suggestions? (Well outside of the obvious, if it is the big end bearings I am up the **** creek without a paddle; the availability of those is bit scarce )
thanks in advance

Sounds louder towards the front, it seems. To my ears, at least.
Might be a pulley bearing noise....a/c compressor, alternator, water pump.
Or bearing noise from one of the idler pulleys. I had to replace all the idlers on my XJR over a period of time because of noise. I my case it was more of a grinding sound than knocking....but noises can play tricks.
Remove the other belts and have a listen
Cheers
