Rover 75 Club SE 2.0L petrol - Grating sound
Hi
When I start the car from cold there seems to be a loud grating type of sound ming from the bottom of the engine. It seems to go once the engine has warmed up. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Rover 75 Club SE 2.0L petrol |

Dave,
Is it a noise from moving parts hitting each other or more a metallic shake noise I ask because if the latter I'd be looking at a loose undertray or the exhaust flexi pipe that couples the exhaust manifold down pipe to the exhaust system. hth Mike

I'm sure it will be nothing to worry about most probably it'll be something silly
