Sounds similar with my M103 W124 260E except for this is a diesel, the engine fan sounds made the similarity.

oil flush :)

I also have a 1990 blue 300d, it sounds exactly the same.
I posted on a mercedes benz forum asking if the engine idling sounding like a bag of spanners is normal, this is the response i got:
The sound of spanners banging in a bag, is a wonderful sound.... especially v early on a cold morning when your trying not disturb the neighbours as you start up the car.

@Greelanx thats just the noise of a diesel. if you run corn oil in your car that knock goes away. it isnt any oilpipes.

@Greelanx Hi, I've got the same problem in my 90' 2,5D, (the car was standing for about 3 months withoat starting) yeas- its nothing serious for the engine, after 5 min its stopping to knock..fixing 'II cost about 250 USD (in my country)
is this a turbodiesel?

sounds like diesel knock...maybe through the hydrolic buckets?

A knock? You mean the knocking noise before I do the revs? A Mercedes mechanic once told me that its proberly the one of the oilpipes to the hydrolic valves that could be jammed. Thats why when I do some revs, the knocking-noise dissapered. The oil gets forced through the pipe. After a while in idle, it starts again. Nothing serious, he insured me. W124's can apperently go on with this problem for 200-300.000 km. It just gets more and more annoying to listen to...
