Mar 2011 at 15:18 hi this is probably a silly question but if the little copper looking pipe that comes off drivers side exhaust maniford was loose at the base would this cause the engine to sound like a hydraulic tick. sorry for silly question but am stumped in finding this ticking noise.

Just had another look Daz. I probably could get a spanner in there to tighten it if the LPG vapouriser and pipework wasnt in the way, so I will probably have to remove that lot to get at it.
The cars is due a big service in the very near future anyway - cambelt,oil,filters,breathers and camcovers look like they are weeping a bit from around the bolts,and I think the box is leaking a bit of ATF as well. so a few things to keep me out of mischief when I get a free weekend. Roll Eyes
