Default Does anyone else?

Does anyone else panic slightly when they start there Scooby from cold and think something doesn't sound quite right?

Just started mine and thought it was knocking slightly but once everything came upto temperature it was silent again!

Have you gone through PS Lewis's cold start procedure? If not I suggest you do a search.

Mine's been sounding like that the last six years (90,000 miles) now at 180,000 miles, and the panic when it starts never goes away :/
