46,000 miles and on thursday there, I started the car and there was a loud tappet noise.

I at first thought it was the fan or supercharger belt, but when I went to rear of the car you could here the engine/exhaust note almost pulsing at the same rate as the noise in the engine.

Sort of a tappety noise the repeated about twice every second. First time its happened tho.

It continued for a couple of minutes, until I moved the car about the yard a bit. A bit worried somethings wrong.




On another note on start up of my car I have experience the speedometer needle vibrating wildly for about 5 seconds.
