Noticed my engine makes a clacking, sort of tractor sound noise if I have let the car sit for a while.
I put it into gear and then it's not so loud.
Put my foot on the clutch and it starts up again.
But then after a few seconds of driving it disappears.
What would be causing this?
I do not know much about the engine but I do remember a friends Mitsi having a similar sound in the mornings after sitting idle and it was sticky tapits or at least I think that's what he called them.
