Just sorted the oil change out and in the garage I had the bonnet up just seeing whether any leaks from the oil cooler pipes/unions running it up to temperature and I could hear this horrid knock when I dabbed the throttle.

Bugger :x

Was checking everything until









...... I figured it was the bonnet pin clips :D Paranoid or what ?:pmsl:

I need to get out more :-D
