thats just normal vauxhall. The hydralic lifters do this in higher mileage cars. No panic. Just keep the oil changes regular and it will be fine.

big end bearings will rattle when driving, it wont be smooth under load, not just when its started. You should be able to hear if the noise is coming from top or bottom of the engine.

what does yours sound like when you stat it from cold ( in the morning or sumin)

mine taps really loudly for about 3seconds then it quietens down to normal. mine cars done 87K.... i thought it was the head getting lubed up with oil.

but i've been reading another post on noises and they are talking about big end bearings :boggle:
