Hi. The Mrs's 1999 'V' 1.8 petrol Freelander has not been used for a couple of weeks & upon starting it, it now has a top end tap.. Sounds like tappets. Is this a easy fix or is it going to be expencive?
Many thanks for your help.
Ian.

hydraulic tappets waiting for oil?

either re-prime them or wait and hope the noise goes as the oil gets up there.

I have taken it for a spin but it hasn't cleared the problem :-(
