There's a TURKEY under my bonnet??!!??!!
Can anybody tell me what is causing this strange noise I sometimes here.
It does it when, I get home from work, I leave the engine standing for half hour or an hour say, then start it up to go out somewhere.
The moment I turn the key to fire her up & the engine starts, I can here what I can only describe as a TURKEY under the bonnet making its gobbling noise that dissapears after a second or two.
Sometimes it goes 'gobble..... gobble..gobble. gobble then stops, it's freakin me out!
What the hell is it!!! I hope it's not serious & no this is no joke.
Thanks for any help!

Jokes aside, are you sure it's definately coming from the engine..? Reason I ask is because my passenger door seems to have a funny problem at the moment. When I turn the key to/from IGN the doors will lock/unlock -- as per my alarm settings. It sounds like the passenger side motor or linkage is a bit sticky because it whines (gobbles perhaps..?) when it's doing it (only for about 1 second though).
If you're in any doubt, another pair of ears might be handy.

Mmmmm, it's a wierd one this.....
I thought it might be a common thing.
It certainly sounds right in front of me & not to either side of the door area.
It definately sounds like a turkey to me, it's bizzare!!
It wouldn't possibly be something to do with my cambelt tensioner you dont think?
