Looks (and sounds) like I have a Vanos issue with the red car. It sounded like a sticky starter to begin with however I had someone else start the car and realised the noise was coming from the front. Went round with the stethoscope and you can hear it clear as day cracking away inside the unit.
Its like a metallic clunk, I likened it to hitting a shovel with a hammer.

So what's my options then?
Any ideas?
