Hello,

I am new to this forum. Please bear with me for novice questions. Recently my 1998 XJ8L wit 120k miles, started rattling on start up. I thought it's just the cold weather and an ageing belt. But when browsed this forum i realized it might be the infamous tensioner issue. Can anyone please listen to this clip and confirm if it's the same? The sound vanishes once the vehicles moves 10,20 yards. Thanks.
