Had DIS pack, HT leads and plugs done at Dealership a few weeks ago, drove to Cornwall and bak, 500 miles, perfect.

Developed a tapping from cold start, disappears after 2 or 3 mins of driving, ATS can't see any exhaust issues, had an oil and filter change done, some Wynns Valve lifter lube added, all to no effect.

Now I have a "putt putt putt" with white smoke from the exhaust aswell as the tapping on cold start ups?

No symptoms at all after the car has been driven and up to temp??

Any thoughts? Ta, Gary

Gary....

sounds similar to mine,  apparently the o/s exhaust gasket is the problem, expansion "seals" the gap when warm. Bit of a piggy to do, exhaust centres don't want the job, allow 4hrs(!!!!!) to do it yourself properly, and don't only do one side............

Sorry!!   not a quick easy fix.
