    Best way of describing it is it sounds like something is bouncing around and catching its not constant either after 5 mins its gone it only does it when cold!

    this sounds like yours poss plastic guide jumping around

    It was the timing chain the bolt had snapped and the plastic guide was jumping around, Just got there in time and thanks to Daz in Newport, replaced timing chain and balance chain in the process.

    All sorted now, thanks for all the help

    yours is on 112k so this is a deffo to check
