Knocking noise below 1000rpm??

I started up my p38 this morning to be greeted with a knocking noise which is pretty loud.

The noise is only present when below 1000 rpm and as soon as above that it goes completely and sounds completely normal. I have no loss of power and no other symptoms other than the knocking.

When i turn the steering wheel or put any other kind of load on whilst idling the noise becomes louder.

Any ideas would be great.

check the condition of your drive belts (alternator etc)

Incase anyone has this problem in the future, the result of this strange noise was a bearing in the tensioner pullie.

panic over!

good news!
