al brown Intermediate Member Offline Posts: 348 alton, hants Drives: 3.0 elite estate 1997, MKII escort	Noisy tappet? 30. Mar 2011 at 20:47 Hi all, the car has suddenly started with a fairly loud tappet like noise when its cold. What is the best remedy please? Is it a case of a couple of quick oil changes or would an additive help with or without extra oil changes. Many thanks Al

Mar 2011 at 20:57 Cheers Darth, Its not the manifold, that was ticking anyway just not got round to sorting it. Fairly certain its a lifter, just never had a problem with a hyd one before. My old escort you just nip them up and the noise goes away. Is it just a case of following the idiot guide on the wyynns? Al
