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

[Martin_1962]

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

[JamesV6CDX]

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

In limbo at the moment, we are thinking of going to Hastings tomorrow to look at the 04 plate miggy its a 2.2 GLS with the full irmscher kit on it, if its no good at least we can have a day in Hastings.
