When I start my engine from Cold. I get a Nasty sounding rattle when It reaches about 3k RPM.

It sounded like it was the Rad mounts. SO I took the radiator out completely and rebuilt It using rubber washers where needed.

Wasnt that.

Ive nipped up all the nuts/bolts I can see and still No joy. Im getting an awful Rattle Until the engine warms up.


could It be internal.


Also, when my car is ticking over, Im getting a knocking sound.
When I dip the clutch iin. The knocking stops?
Is that my release bearing?
