Tappety tap tap?

Recently purchased a Facelift D2 V8i. For the first 100 miles, it's been fine. But now when idling (sitting at the lights) at around 750rpm, it developed a tapping noise from the engine?

Yes, I'm crapping myself!!

Spoke to a generic mechanic, who changed oil and filter.. still tapping?

Praying it's not something hideous?!:doh:

happy landings!!

Snowy

tappits?

Where abouts from the engine? you need to pop the bonnet and check.

Blown pipe to manifold gasket maybe worse still a slipped liner if u run on LPG.

now that you mention it Discool, mine used to "tick" from the manifold once upon a time, all it required was a quick tighten up and it stopped (I got fed up of slapping gungum on it every other day only for it to come loose when i gave her some)

It's coming from the nearside-side of the engine, I think. Hard to tell and it's bloody cold out there!!

Cheers and stay warm

..or we could do this another way. Who's the best Landie mechanic in North London, nay, the world?
