Tappets? news to me.

Post by Doctor Foster »

:(

Just noticed our van sounding like a singer sewing machine when idling. Havent started it for about two weeks. Took it for a quick run and they seemned to quieten down a little. Dont sound nice though.

Worrying about nothing? or something needs sorting out?
