Ok. Early morning. After the car has been stood up overnight in the cold.
For the first circa 5mins it sounds like a noisy set of rollers (not squeel) but an occerlation sound.
If I rev the engine (gently of course) - sounds normal but if I engage a gear and pull away for a few metres - it makes a slightly rattly sound. So i.e. when I set off.
Out of gear and rev- nothing. fine.
There is no thunk when I select first gear.
There is no knocking noise.
The gearstick doesnt jump out of gear.
It isnt hard getting the gearstick onto any gear. (its a manual)
After a few minutes the car sounds fine.
Piston-slap? It honestly sounds like the rollers at the front- as though they are dry/stuck from the sub-zero overnight until fully freed?!
If the car has been stood for say 3hrs during the day- its fine.
Engine is a 2.0 non-turbo so it cant be oil starvation?
