Default Mondeo 1.8td noisy tappets

Hi All,

The list of faults with the ramshackle mondeo is getting smaller at last... New cambelt(s) are on, new alternator has sorted the fluctuating lights and the new water pump seems to have sorted the temperature. Having changed the oil the tappets seem to be quite a bit noisier than they were. Do you think this could be that the old oil was very sludgey so keeping them quiet or something more sinister?

Thanks in advance,

Matt
