Hi, I've been trying to capture this elusive rattle for some time now and eventually have managed to record it at its worst. This high pitch level of rattle occurs very infrequently but about every other day at a lower pitch. Anyone out there who can identify this? I know these cars have timing chain issues, mine was replaced 2 yrs ago today and this has been occurring for the past 18 months on and off. I left it overnight with the guys who fitted the chain a couple of weeks ago for a cold start test but the rattle didn't happen in front of them and they said the timing seemed ok. Is there any way to determine whether the chain has stretched without stripping the whole thing out? I've created a link to my dropbox as its the only way i could figure out how to attach it. Hope you guys can shed some light on this as the guarantee for the chain replacement has run out, so no soft landing if the chain fails
