Afternoon...
53 plate 1.2 S Auto
For ages, and I mean ages, several years in fact I think. When car is stationery (neutral & handbrake but same with Park & handbrake), I get an awful rattling kind of sound - maybe even metal against metal type of sound. When I first started getting the problem I took it to a garage who could hear it. I still continue to have the Micra serviced at a Nissan garage and I keep thing the service reception desk/technician will say something and it will cost the earth to repair.....but no. Surely it must be heard in the workshop when having the service/MOT. Reading one of the post someone mentioned rattling and heat shield. Of course without hearing/see the car do you think this is what it might be and I can continue to just ignore it? Appears to drive ok - I just had hearing the noise - thinking it is one of the belts or chain or something on the car.
thank you for any input. PS one time I did mention nissan garage at point of service - they said they tighten it up (not sure which bit - in fact dont know where exactly heat sheild is). Anyway it didn't stop it.... oh yes, also only happens when heated up engine - no noise at all when first start ot. Does this tie in with perhaps being heat shield?
Thank you.
