Default St170 tapping noise

Hi,

Only just started doing it.

Sounds like its possibly coming from cambelt sort of area. So hard to tell.

When car is started it starts basically making a tapping noise. When car is warm it stops.

Could this be tappets or injectors.

Any other suggestions

Please help
