    Clio 200 engine rattle/knocking noise

    Well fingers crossed this uploads properly... :/ This is the sound I'm getting from a cold start. Seems to be continual under load when accelerating but once warmed on idle you can rev and there's little to no sound at all.. The underload sounds is like a continual rattle which only happens...

    Well ideally the Battery issue is purely down to it not been run very much / or many short stop / start so has been drained, but the gearbox maybe something I'm going to have to bring back up with them as this could just be a royal pain in the ass... Really strange as to how it never showed on...

    Cheers pal... I'd like to swap the alloys as the anthracite Speedlines (I think that's what there are anyway) are exact to my taste, but may suffice for the time being. And I'd like one of the winged spoilers (don't know the specific title just yet) will do soon I'm sure after being around a...
