Hi all,

I'm going to look at what I hope to be my first T25 tomorrow and have been told it sounds rough when cold.
Apparently this is normal due to some technical reason that I don't understand!

Can someone confirm this for me please?

Thanks ;0)

if its not had a good run for a while it'll be suffering from tappet drain ,hydraulic tappet drain themselves of oil in protest at not being driven regular.... so yes will sound rough but could be hiding something take it for 7-8 mile test drive and if after that all should sound sweet :ok
