SLIGHT TAP/KNOCK WHEN COLD
Hi all only noticed this morning as I usually allow the car to warm up before driving but didn't have time this morning... when the engine is cold it seems to have a slight tap noise or very quiet rattle when u just touch the accelerator doesn't carry on up the revs but not sure if bottom end is going? or is this normal? knock sensor? no smoke or loss in power although occasionally smells as if its running rich... its a 1998 s reg 2000 turbo UK spec completely standard 113k

I didn't leave it to warm for the particular reason I have it was just left to warm as I thought that was best for the car to warm up before running and also run it for a few mins after a long run... Is it best to drive straight away rather then warming up?

Lol maybe it is just me I just dont want a massive garage bill if I leave some thing little which leads to say timing slipping and destroying my engine better to be safe then sorry I say
