Rattle when turning over engine

[Paul R]

Hi,

 

OK, so since I got my car back from the bodyshop I've noticed quite a loud rattle/ticking when starting the car. My first thought was the starter motor as a couple of times I could hear a ticking like when your battery is flat and the starter doesnt engage properly. This sound was mixed in with the rattle though.

 

This is only when the engine is being turned over - once started it's fine, doesnt matter if it's hot or cold - it makes the same noise when starting. Like I said I've only noticed this since it came back from the bodyshop - could be coincidence though.

 

I wish all my stuff was un packed in my garage, I could have a look then! (Only moved 5 weeks ago)

 

Paul.
