But I've noticed a few times its a bit rattly when you first start up from cold, a minute running and it settles down, then over this very cold down to -11C period i've not been using it as i've been away, its sat for a week at these temps, so I get back and start it up, starts on the button with just a 3 sec glow plug delay. Then as it returns to idle it starts rattling noisily like its shaking in its mounts, rev it and it runs perfectly it just shakes on idle, so I rev again and the shaking reduces and eventually after a minute or two idle returns to normal and all is well rest of the day it runs like a dream, as weather has warmed up itll be fine tomorrow I'm sure.

Is this just diesel's when cold, or poor quality supermarket fuel? Not something I'm familiar with, and a bit disconcerting. Anyone noticed anything similar?
