1.2 engine rattles at just over 2000rpm

It is there constant, dealer did ask if engine was making any rattling or tapping noises before it went in. From what I was told by dealer yesterday Nissan are still investigating why these engines are using so much oil. Did you get a lead time on delivery of new engine?

1.2 engine rattles at just over 2000rpm

1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

No, they didn't say. They did say a lot of dealers are reporting this issue with this model and that Nissan were still investigating what is causing the oil loss.
