Once I got back to the dealership I told the salesmen about the noise we both had a look over the engine bay and he told me he would get it inspected if I was keen on the car. 2 days later and the salesman along with the mechanic have both called me to say that the noise is due to injectors and because the car is brand new and never driven and that in a short period of time it will just eventually disappear and there will be no noise.Any thoughts and comments would be much appreciated as I have never been in this position. I' am not overly keen on shelling out hard earned cash for something that is already having injector (or whatever the hell it is) issues.cheers people!
