Went to look at it and t is the dogs whatsits, only thing, when it first started there was a loud fast ticking from the top of the engine, this went after about 3 - 4 mins, could it have been the manifold gasket, it was not a tapping noise (cam), it was deffo a ticking.

I could be wrong Pete, but I think the 2.2 suffer from cracked exhaust manifolds.

Are they expensive pete
-
Not sure but use it as a bargaining tool
-
£130 vx price trade i paid 2yrs ago but they say its better to get a good second hand one as they have warped all they are going to.
second hand one £50 - £75.
if im wrong i am sure the fellas will say something.
-
ticking coming from injecters?

The ticking went after about 3-4 mins, would it do that if it was the injectors
-
Most likely a very minor exhaust blow. The 4 pots do suffer from manifold problems but it's not a big job. As said, use it as a bargaining point, it's easy to put right once you get it home :y

SHE LOVES IT!

Her shortlist was Ford Cougar V6 or an Astra Bertone 2.2.
Guess what I am going to be pushing her towards now? ;)
