Hi all, my car has started making a tapping noise from yhe left side of the head. It runs fine and has not had a belt change so im confident its not a valve. Any other ideas I can look at? Smile

Which one? Try to undo them by hand (without ratchet) as that'll give you an idea if they are loose. Harder to tell with a ratchet.

Could also be exhaust manifold gasket or a dodgy but unlikely tappet.

Okay cool, il try on the next 3 at lunch time. Could be exhaust gasket I guess. Il try the plugs and go from there. Smile oh yeah, the one I did so far was the left one as you look at the engine. I must also, the fit of the coil pack to plug felt loose, almost as though it was just sitting on the plug. Is this normal? Or do the clip on?

Nah, I meant the fitment to the top of the plug inside the coilpack. Done it lunch, plug no.2 was a bit loose. All sorted now though. Cheers boys. Smile
