I think he engine number is stamped on the bottom, where you need to jack up the engine to replace the passenger side engine mount. Its somewhere in front of the oil filter if i remember correctly.

Mine sounds VERY much like this. From 1st cold start, got a rattle. Switched off and fired up immediately to video it, no rattle.. It's not good news is it? FFS :oops:. Engine number is one that's impacted, 25k miles.

Another check for the SI list. I would plan to leave it with them for a few days to check on this from stone cold.

Yep, had done. It's going to be an exciting couple of days. Good news is that the garage I bought it from is happy for SI to look it all over first and for me to report back.
They may not when you give them a big list. Hope it is nothing to worry about.:goodluck:

Seems ok this morning? Maybe it's early stage rattle or something completely different :confused:

Might need an oil change. Sometimes you have to leave it a few days though before it does it again. If it is only doing it occasionally you probably want to spend 1k getting the non return valves machined in. Doing it as a pre-emptive measure will save you 2k of cam caps and loads of labour.
