Hmmm... but if the noise is getting worse that can only point to a premature failure at some point I would have thought! I always dread the "they all do that sir" sort of response.
Will go out for a little run later today and maybe even pop over to BHM (25 miles each way) just to see what they think. I heard their old demonstrator and it rattled pretty badly on one occasion - I think it sounded similar but worse than mine. I know they will be as honest as they can be with their prognosis.
Glad to see it seems rare, but many cars have hardly been used and mine at almost 1200 miles is probably one of the most used!
