Hi All,
By beloved 2013 THP 156 RCZ has started rattling at 2000- 2500 Rpm when starting in the cold, (confirmed at latest service). It has the the second revision tensioner (with the dimple on the head) & has done 57000 miles, with what i assume is the original chain. Oil changes have been between 5000 and 7000 miles, and its been serviced yearly from new. No errors showing on my ECU/ODB, no engine warning lights and also the longterm fuel trims are well below 10%. Hopefully, no real timing issues yet and its been caught in time!
Main dealer quote is £1000 (& him indoors doesnt want to do it - too many fiddly bits apparently!). Also main dealer said they'd keep the price down by not draining the oil, if they could keep the car on an angle!! Should I be worried?
Just wondered if any of you guys know a reputable garage that I could trust to carry out the work on my car, (preferably in the northwest/Cheshire/Manchester area).

Ps. High pressure fuel pump was replaced last year by him indoors!
