Hi guys,
Looking for advice here.
My Smart has all of sudden (completely out of the blue) started making a very loud clattering noise, the noise is present at idle and when driving (in gear) - when at idle if I rev the slowly car (in neutral) the noise seems to go away though if I plant my foot on the accelerator it makes a slight noise but not a (clattering noise) as the revs build.
No blue smoke or anything untoward out of the tail pipe, last week I changed both rear engine mounts as they where getting tired - front one is only three years old and has the Powerflex insert, I also do an oil service every two thousand miles and I just changed the oil last week on it. I went over it with a socket extension to my ear and it appears to be centred around cylinder two in the cylinder head (not 100% certain though).
I've uploaded a video of the noise from the car to Ufile.io - as I can't attach a video file here:

Has anyone come across something similar to this before, hoping maybe Tolsen has and has some advice?
