    That Is bad.

    On mine, you only heard it when you revved the engine between 1.5k and 3k revs.

    Please let us know how you get on.

    Well folks, I've been fixed!

    The car went into Menzies at 8.30am this morning for the 'full fix', i.e. tensioner, chain, pulleys, etc., and I got it back at 2.00pm this afternoon, complete with wash and brushup!
    So I have to give Menzies of Stirling a big for now.

    Hopefully that's the end of the 'death rattle' embarassing noise!

    Glad you got it sorted. Hopefully it will stay silent.
