Hey,
did a search but couldn't find one that matched mine exactly - at idle the engine rattles quite loudly, not overly so, or crazy shakes, but does sound like another normal loud diesel car, so not too healthy - if you get what i mean. As soon as i apply any gas it sounds normal. There is no smoke or anything else. Oil warning light has just come on - not even driving it until I top that up/change oil but not sure if related anyway. Airbag warning has been on for ages too, assuming this just relates to airbag reset but know some warning lights can relate to other problems...
This problem has only developed since it had its MOT, i.e. someone has been poking around and pulling things. I noticed after the MOT the accelartor pedal was very "hard", but this has gone now. Annoyingly I haven't been driving it so was unaware of problem but my GF has driven to London 4 times, and now tells me there was this wierd noise all along but she ignored it! :mad:
In my head this is something major, but is there a chance something simple could be at fault? :confused:
Also, just to add history to this basically most parts in the engine were new 18months ago (done by crasher on this forum after an insane engine failure).....head, injectors, pumps, cambelt, crank, turbo, ecu, fans, etc.
cheers for any replies!
