I know this may sound stupid but never owned a Monaro before so i dont know whats normal and whats not.

When i switch the igntion the car sort of make a short rattling noise and shakes slighty, is this normal due to the size of the engine, or is there something abnormal?

As i say be gently i just getting used to things.

Makes less noise if you hold the clutch down when you turn it off.
No mechanical benefit but makes you feel slightly better smile

Mine does it so not unique to the English cars. I always thought it sounded like it comes from the engine?
