So, were is the best place to have the camera looked at? (I live in West Yorkshire) any suggestions??
Could it be the sensor cleaning mechanism which has been jarred or something like that??

The noise you hear is the camera working overtime to get your sensor into the right place on start-up and initialise SSS, which is probably not working properly now.
A Sony repair with a warranty period is probably the best solution, but not if it costs most than £269, for which you can get a new Alpha 200. My guess is that the repair will cost £120.
You could try an independent repair from Camera Workshop:

The info on Repairs and Servicing is on our page:

As far as I know JP Solutions are also doing Sony repairs.

email from JPS this morning - "If we provide an estimate and that estimate is refused, there will be a charge of £6.00+VAT. That's it."David Kilpatrick wrote:they always charge at least £100 just to diagnose and open the camera, even if the repair consists of adjusting a few screws.
