hi guys, done a search and there dont seem to be any problems like the one i have. the car has covered 70000 miles ph3, just been into the garage and had the headgasket done.

seems the garage has made an arse of it as oil is leaking from the cam cover onto the exhaust manifold and burning. however the car seems to have developed a slight tap/whine coming from the head of the engine at about 2900/3000 rpm. any ideas what might be causing it folks? any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance
mark

get it booked in, not sure where about you are but I'm sure there's a garage nearby that knows more about 306s than the last one you used.
