oh if its only 'tapping noise' then it most probably the hydraulic lifters on startup. | |

soz mine only sounds like that when i start it in the morning, goes after about 3 seconds.... just lubing the head up with oil is what i was told, can't see it being the crank or the bottom end. | |

if its a solid knocking, ie a hammer on metal type sound, it sounds more serious than tappets, maybe ur crank, bottom end. | |

mine taps - like tapping noise... not hammer, some times goes later on - but I was told the 1.2 16v engine is a very tappy engine anyway... (known for making that noise) | |

Will be the lifters. Mine was the same at around 40K so it went back to Vaux as i had a warrenty on the engine. £760.00 to replace them!!!!!! | |

Could be the lifters. Mine rattled a lot on my old sri (8v) on startup in the morning, but stopped after about 5 mins. Does it make the tappin sound all the time while driving? | |
