Only noticed it today, can't hear in the car, I got out to put the bin out and heard a knocking sound, :'( hard to tell were it was coming from but is it likely to be a hydraulic tapet? It was gone when I got to work when the engine was warm.
What are the possibilities?
-
was it a knocking or a tapping rich ??
-
when was the oil last changed? and was it genuine vaux oil?
As I dont do alot of mileage I change every 6 months regardless of mileage and use genuine vaux oil and filter.
I think most people do a change every 4k :)

I'd say a light knock rather than a tap

Have known air con compressor make knocking on start up,you can take aux belt off, and run briefly, this checks out some other obvious things also. :y

Cheers for the idea's chaps, I will keep my fingers crossed that the oil and filter change tomorrow will fix it!!
And as for the word filter!! Nah I disagree, what harm does text speak do? people are that used to using these abreviations, like me I don't know I am doing it, and when I post from my PDA its even more easy to use them as my phone remembers them and predicts them.
I just think it makes the post look messy and makes the poster look a twit!!
Its just force of habbit for me. Anyway thats my piece! said it now!! hehe
