I cant work this out, so any bright ideas would be much appreciated!!
Thanks Rocky
Is it metallic sound .. bit like thin metal vibrating? .... i had strange sound when accelerating and have just found a split intercooler hose ... a guy in my local garage knew the noise instantly. Only happened when the car was under load.
