This started recently and sounds bad but may not be (fingers crossed!) When left overnight, upon starting their is a loud tapping sound that increases with revs but disappears quickly (within 10 secs) as the engine warms up.
Any ideas? I've only just returned from hols but will see if I can pin down the location of the rattle today. IST that loose exhaust manifold studs could be a possible cause?
