Have you had you're fuel pressure checked? Causes misfiring coz of under pressure (weak mixture) and over pressure (rich mixture) sooty plugs , just a thought
I've got the same problem , if you load up the boot the noise goes, I suspect it's the shocks making noise.
Unbolt the rear shocks at the base and then drive VERY slowly with a mate in the boot and see if noise has disapeared.
I'm running spax RSX coilovers and the noise is evident even thou...
Will the engine rev up normally? If not check your fuel pressure/ and flow rate, very overlooked imo.
Also if the engine is running hot , how hot? Does the cooling fan stay on a long time? Poss looking at a lean mixture maybe.
From the video it sounds starved of fuel maybe. Hope this helps
When I ftted mine I changed the metal bush for a new one and the White half moon ball type bush , circlip was a tad of a sod to fit , but be honest I haven't had to cut anything and the lever feels not sloppy at-all.
I got a DCI , and had 3 out of 4 glow plugs not working over the cold snap, she fired up no trouble, so it's not looking like it's them, DCI means direct injection , no need for glow plugs really, they are there purely for imission perposes.
Don't buy a second hand one that been left open to the elements,
Try and see it still fitted to the car.
Don't want moisture in it , moisture in a/c = poor cooling ,
Sounds like your having fun. I'm glad I got a ph2*1 mine was quite easy compared to the trouble you are having.
As mentioned above, sleeve must be pressed out also.
