FOOKED THE CAR AGAIN
Well got up Fri morn started the car could here slight knocking noise for a few seconds then it stopped now on a morning when cold it sounds like a diesel then when it warms up it is as sweet as a nut i have just had about enough now any ideas sounds like more expense. Just in the process of moving house thought about selling her to fund bigger mortgage disgust it with are lass and decided to keep her (the car of course) But now it doesn't look good

As to what's up with it - not a clue but I'd recommend letting Rick have a look at it providing the motor can make it to York - I'm sure it's nothing he hasn't seen before. I'll PM you his number.

You might wanna try a search for piston slap, sure I've read about it on here before and it was described with the same symptoms you have.
If I remember correctly if it goes away when the engine is warm it's not worth worrying about
In fact, here you go https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...ht=piston+slap

No, no.. Some of us may need to buy a hat or something...
Plus, Getting a WYIOC wedding convoy together and setting up a WYIOC arch with raised intercoolers, that the happy couple can walk under, will take some time to organise...
