When the engine warms up I notice a ticking noise in the cabin coming from the engine bay. This is more noticeable when the doors are shut and windows up. If you stand at the front of the car with the bonnet up it is not necessarily apparent. Is this a hydraulic tappet noise and can it be cured?
Many thanks

Where you are it might ne a Locust rubbing its' hind legs together! ;D

Tappet, injector, exhaust manifold, fuel tank vent valve.....you need to try to localise the sound

3.2s dont run well on locust juice.
Mine does tap a little bit its mostly gone by the time its warm.
If its in time with engine revs when warm i wonder if a cam cap bolt is loose? But wait for a more experienced member to advise i dont want you pulling the calm covers off on my say so, i am a bit paranoid about these thing.
