"Hello" and Welcome  :)

"tapping from an engine" is a very general term ... which area is a usefull help !! .. ask the question in "General Help" as a lot more of the mechanical experts read there than here .. :)

As to Omega problems .. there are several threads around that describe most of the common pitfalls

Good luck :)

Hello and welcome to the forum --as has been said before -- "tapping" can have many causes and subsequent remedies ( some cheap and easy, some not so!).

If you can be more specific, post it up under General Help. Might be a good idea to have a general browse around too and pick up loads of tips.

Best of luck with it  :y

Hi. A warm welcome  :) I would walk away unless it's the right money, because there's lots to choose from. If your unsure take someone who is, it could be well worth dropping a mechanic £20-£30 for piece of mind.
Hope you find a good n  :y
