Clattering noise on startup

[scala]

Hi all,

The engine on my 1.4S (X-plate) has started to make a loud clattering noise on startup. It disappears after 20-odd seconds which made me think that perhaps it was low on oil, but the level appears to be normal. Any thoughts? Sounds like the valves clattering away.

Ta in advance.

My megane has just had the dephaser pulley replaced it sounded like a bag of nails from cold star,. not sure if your is the same I think the dephaser pulley is to do with variable valve timing.
