I would say injector noise, or possibly loose spark plugs. Were the plugs changed by the garage? |

HiThat sound a bit more ticky than my tapper used to sound so as above it could just be injectors. If it didnt sound like it before though I would definitly take it back, the sooner you raise the issue the more chance you will have of them believing they may have caused a problem. ________________________________________ Ryan |

Get it back to them ASAP, as said the longer you leave it before going back the easier it will be for them to try and wriggle out of addmitting liability for doing something that may be causing the noise. Best not to do any servicing/remedial work yourself as they may try to pin the problem on you if you mention touching anything. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
