Hello all,
On a long drive back from Penzance to Kent yesterday i noticed a knocking sound when i pull away in 1st from stand still (not going hard, just normal accleration). I started to hear it around clackett lane where they have shut two lanes off. The car had been going at a steady speed until then for a good 5 hours. Is it just that the engine was hot or is this the start of something expensive?
As soon as i'm away it stops. sounds like its coming from right behind the centre consol type area in the engine bay. The car had only just been serviced so im presuming that all oil levels etc were fine.
Could it be this?
