cv joint may need doing. the timing chains are bullet proof on these and usually rattle a little bit when cold anyway. just change the oil and filter to see if that quietens it down a bit. although if its only done 500miles just try starting it and leave it running for a bit to see if that works before changing the oil. if you pop the bonnet while its ticking over. rev it with your hand and use your ear to try and pinpoint the grinding noise.
