Hi all,
I didn't want to hijack the QP Rattle on start up thread, so here goes;
Does anyone else with the GTS 4.7 get an odd rattling sound coming from the exhaust when first starting the car up? It only happens when it is cold out, and only happens the first time I start the car. To explain that a bit better, I can start her up and then after about 5 seconds I will get a metallic rattling sound from the exhaust for about a minute I guess whilst it also chucks out quite a lot of fumes, then it settles in to normal.
If I then drive off, stop the car, leave it for a few hours and start it again I don't get the same sound. I have only noticed this since it has been really cold! So it is just the first start of the day.....Just me or anyone else?
I got a bit of a weird bang on pulling off earlier too which made me wonder if the handbrake was stuck on, but it wasn't so I am just pretending it didn't happen for now
