i had that problem at the bggining and i ignored it thinking it was nothing and gave the car an oil change and filter, ran it for 2 weeks now it's been sitting in my garage for 2 weeks cos everytime it starts it rattles like hell cos the crank and big end shells are knackered!

go to bullseye at tanyard and ask for some engine flush then get some oil and filter while u are there if u dont have already. empty the can into where u put the oil and run at no more than 2k revs for 20 mins

then drop the oil change the filter and top up with correct amount

if its cleared a bit then probably is crap in ure tappets/lifters so may be worth doing. only cost me £15 for bits and i got the v6 so 5 litre of oil :!

give me a shout if u need a hand :)

i just been out for a quick run an the noise has pretty much dissappeared :o i changed the oild about 5,000 miles ago but i might just flush it out and do it again to be safe. Do you have to use flushing oil for this? an how long do u leave the flushing oil in for before swapping it for normal stuff?

It sounds like the top of the engine, under the rocker cover. So could be the cam maybe?

Just got home from doin the shopping and noticed a loud tapping noise. Sounds like very loud tappets but it has come on so quick I doubt it. Gave the car a right thrashing so not sure if that has something to do with it. Any ideas?
