my cooper s was producing a constant loud engine rattle within days of me picking it up.
It went to the dealer last week where they replaced the drive belt and adjusted the tension on the other belts in the engine - touch wood 200 miles later and the sound hasnt returned.

I have an appointment on Monday for the exact same problem, they are also replacing my belt.

Hmmm.....My S, has a drive belt noise after less than 600 km (3 days driving). Presumably this is the same problem as you guys. Better book the car in I suppose. P.i.t.a.

Yep, pain in the ass.......Just a nuisance, but a little birdie told me to find something to take it back to the dealer for anyway.......

the latter is spot on Steve......apparently it fixes more than just the cold start problem (which I don't have as yet)
