Diesel, or petrol, & which engine?

Diesels don't 'pink' as such (notwithstanding some members colour schemes)

when stationary try turning the steering wheel a bit. If the rattle stops..suspect power steering pump.... not a big deal...loads do it.

Yep, my PAS pump claters a little unless I load it. I assume it must be the pressure relief valve.
