sounds like...whip it off and see if there is any witness marks off the ringTook it green-laneing in Salisbury yesterday with a Baja, a military vehicle, the other IOW 'rail, a "beach" buggy and a biker to scout the lanes! . Great fun - though we did hit one slightly wet patch

Car performed flawlessly for 70+ miles of road and about 30 miles off road.
However on the last start up to come off the ferry there was a noise from the front end (I think) of the engine, it disappeared as soon as the engine started. Same thing this afternoon cleaning the mud off. It is a 1.8VVT engine any suggestions ? You can hear it in the vid below just a second after start. So far no affect on performance or running. Ideas as to what it might be welcome!
Should add that it happens with engine hot or cold - Starter motor not retracting poossibly?
