Metallic clunk then rattle on startup?
Think I'm gonna have to jack it up tomorrow to find out. I wouldnt imagine it'd be the exhaust as its a stainless steel mongoose, only a few years old, with decats. Or is the heatshield bolted above the exhaust? Hmmm could be that then :) Might tighten the handbrake cables whilst its jacked up to see if thats cure it too. Cheers Pete

Metallic clunk then rattle on startup?
Hello :) When starting up my car, already warm, a few seconds into idle I often hear a metallic clunk followed by rattling, like a metal cable vibrating against something also metal. The noise comes from under the centre of the car. Any ideas what this could be? Handbrake cable maybe? It goes away after you start moving. Cheers Pete

FFS Mick :rolleyes: Nobody's comparing bad luck stories here, lay off for Gods sake :( Ben's bashed up his car, and is understandably gutted, just because there are worse things in life doesnt mean he's not allowed to express emotion over this :mad: Why not take your own advice... Pete
