Morning everyone, i need your technical help ona problem thats been happening on and off in the past week.

Problem 1

It sounds like a tapping noise but i dont think its the tappets as its a slightly differnt noise.

It occurs when i approach junctions and when i put the clutch down to stop, when the revs are winding down thats when this noise occurs, it sounds like a toy being wound up! its hard to describe but doesnt always happen, perhaps its the early stages of my tappets going??


Problem 2
Maybee i have low oil pressure as she makes noises when starting up from cold, ive been told its the pistons but when its warm it runs fine



Are these two problem linked at all!i Know one of you coossie experts will let me know!Cheers for your time everyone

Luke
