this was just going to be my next question will it be ok to still drive it runs and drives perfect bar the knocking i think it is cam chain on it going to try and get it done under warranty if possible love the car so smooth and beautiful
they are known for the cam chain to rattle as some1 already said if it was a private sale cant see ir being done under warranty  :sad: mine also had the coil-packs done free of charge from the dealers just after i bought it an had some warranty work done on the paint
