My 2009 clubman with 67000 is idealing rough and sounds like a truck when starting. Very LOUd when driving also. the exhaust seems fine. the car is running really rough. any help its going to the shop on tuesday.
Sounds like it may be the timing chain tensioner.
Look up "death rattle" on this site. A few people included links to youtube vidoes they took, and see if it sounds like what your hearing. Good luck.
