Yesterday I was out and about in the 90, no problems.
It was quite cold this morning when I went to start the engine and I know my plugs are shot so it took a bit of cranking to get it going - 20secs...
It started up and there was a tinny rattling noise, I pushed the clutch expecting it to go as it came from the flywheel area and there was no change in noise.
From the engine bay it sounded like it was coming from the flywheel area, then it disappeared before coming back again for a short while. Then it went and I drove about no problem.
Then engine has since been restarted (from warm) with no noise - once engine is running it sounds fine.
I was trying to get as much information about the problem as it was happening so I tried all sorts of things to see if anything changed it and I am CERTAIN its not the gearbox.
So ideas please, similar noises ett.
