   Hi, got a few noises I'm hearing
   
   Metalic rattle on start up, seems to go after 10 seconds
   The noise of liquid sloshing around the dash/engine area on start up, again goes after a while.
   On start up, car squeaks and jolts when I drive forward, goes after 30 seconds.
   
   Any ideas? Cheers

   What type of engine have you got?
   
   I had a metallic rattling on my Volvo which was the air conditioning pump clutch failing.

   I don't know where he's from as he didn't say.
   
   A good thing I found when trying to isolate noises on my Volvo auxiliary belt was to get about 1 metre of hose pipe and use it as a stethoscope, one end to my ear and the other end to the area where the noise was coming from. Helped me to locate exactly which pulley was the problem.
