Hi, my 2016 1.2 rapid spaceback rattles like an old taxi when starting hot the warning lights go out the noise stops

Any ideas?

I would have thought timing chain, but a 2016 should have the belt drive engine instead. (unless it was really quite old stock when first registered)

Sounds like a timing chain!!! A bad oil service is often the cause....
