We've a new noise now!
When you start the car there is a loud metallic rattle.
Any ideas? Only does it when you start the engine.
Thanks
MM

When you say 'start', do you mean when cranking? Does the noise stop once the engine is running? Cheers,

Hi Raz,
Depress clutch, press start button, engine cranks, fires then "clatter"...the metallic noise.
Started doing this yesterday.
Cheers MM

Hi MM. Have a look at this and the video attched to it, does it sound anything like the noise in the Video

Hi Toeknee
Yes... Just not quite as loud. Will go have a listen now with the bonnet up.
Cheers
MM

Ok,
Had bonnet up... It's no where nearly as dramatic as the video. However the sequence of events is the same.

tomle3's happens on shut down, but it could be the same problem, think it may be a call to the Graham's at TVLR

Sounds like your electronic throttle has broke tooo

Moan time...
Don't know when I'm going to have time to get it over. I'm going on holiday on Saturday and he needs to get me to the airport in Manchester. It's such a bloomin hassle- hour drive to TVLR, naf courtesy car, hour drive to work... Two hours of hassle even before I get to work (for 9). Then don't finish til 7, so have repeat process the next day.
I'm gettin really fed up now.

You could try these guys

Not used them myself, but have heard good reports, plus not too far from the Boro

Booked in at TVLR. Hopefully they'll get him sorted on Wednesday.
Toeknee- didn't know those guys existed!

Say hello from me

TVLR saved the day.
Pebble stuck between exhaust and shield! Another good reason to be annoyed by tar spraying and road chippings!
Also i will retract my statement about naf courtesy cars- brand new toyota yaris with reversing camera. Lol.
Seems like TVLR have a good thing going with hodgsons toyota rentals...
