Ticking?

Damn the ticking from my supercharger is just getting louder and louder, my Mini sounds like a diesel! I had it serviced and those retards said that there's nothing they can do until they take it apart and go from there my Mini is a stock JCW and thats about it anyone have any thoughts as to what is going on? They also said it could be the grade of gas I put in but my Mini only gets shell V-Power ????????????????????

If it's the supercharger ticking, then it's probably the accessory drive for the water pump on the back going bad. There are a few threads floating around about this issue.
