   Righto people, got a video here so you can all hear the noise.
   
   Only happens on cold start up (if I leave it overnight) never during the rest of the day say if I've been at college. Never used to happen, only started since I got it back from HG change. Making me think its something serious....

   IT sounds like it COULD be a belt. Once they are cold they are very firm and they when they warm up the slack a little bit... Check the tension in the belt. IT might be done up to tight? OR it would be on its way out.

    Take it back to the garage, They obviously have not done something right... They should also fix it for free
