Hi Guys, I have a 03 406 110 HDI which makes a grunting or grinding noise for
1 second immediatly after startng. The noise appears to come from the
nearside of the engine and is intermittent but usually does it when starting
from cold. The car runs perfectly otherwise. any help would be appreciated.

I would think it's the starter motor. I don't think it is detrimental,
just noisy. Up to you whether you want to lash out for a new one!

Many thanks for the comments, I suspect you could be correct as the noise
starts as soon as the ignition key is released which is when the bendix
should be retracting. A new company car forces the sale of the car so I will
have to get it replaced as the noise would be a turn off for a buyer. My
local Pug stealership have quoted £475 for a replacement. Might have a go
myself when it warms up a bit. Thanks for your help.

That's a bit excessive! Do it yourself, it's quite easy. You will need
a 8mm Allen Key socket, a 13mm spanner and a 8mm spanner. Remember to
disconnect the battery!!

That doesn't sound too difficult ... many thanks.

Chances are that the shaft or solenoid just need cleaning.

It's attached to the top of the starter motor!!  Generally not
available seperately.
