BUT there was excessive noise from tappets. they said car had no oil in <which i doubt as cars mid would of said!!!!>. once they put oil in the noise has quietend. but still there under rev's. what are chances of noise going once oil has chance to circulate properly. or will i need to get tappets repaced???

I take it some work has been done then... can you say specifically what?

Make sure the oil filter is new, and 10/40 semi synth is in there full to the max

May take up to 15 mins to shut up....
