Mines done 48,000 miles so maybe they improve with age, loosen up a bit? Mine is a 2003 car. Oh, it's a turbo'd model too but I'd have thought that would have made it noisier?

Mines very quiet even from cold, all other K series engined cars I've had have rattled terribly from cold, even the brand new MG ZR I had, how odd.

Mines quiet when cold ! But gets noisier when warm - always got this rattle
when under firm acceleration-- like the old crankshaft whip on 3 main bearing engines of old - or piston slap-- I think the noise comes from 3 places--engine block mostly- then tubular manifold and exhaust--then inlet manifold with injectors- these manifolds were cast iron or alloy years back ! |
