Video works fine  :wink:

No idea on the noise though. Sounds like metal banging against another piece of metal. Strangeeee. Could it be ice in a little trough rattlign around before melting?  :undecided:

No didnt think of dipping the clutch lol. Ill try that later on.
Just seems to be coming from the cambelt area.
Dont think its ice as it does it on just cold start aswell with out the frost and ice.
Need it sorting asap.

That sounds like the water pump bearings to me.

I hope your wrong mate lol.
As said above only had the ljmp and cambelt done a matger of months ago. Cant believe it.only real way of knowing is to get a new pump fitted i suppose. What a piss take.

I hope he is wrong also. Go back to the garage where you had it done and ask to see the invoices of the parts, to make sure that they did actually change the waterpump... :lipsrsealed:

It was a friend of mine who fitted it mate. Hes my machanic and body work specialist lol so i do trust that he fitted the parts.
The parts were non genuine from a local factors but i shud imagine it would still have a good 30/40 k mile guarantee???

It may not be the pump, but does sound like it. Something is definately not right. It could also be alternator bearings though i doubt it. I would take off the aux belt and start the engine and see if noise goes away, if it does you will know its one of the parts run by said belt causing the issue. ( if you see what i mean)
