Default saff tapping....
i have recently changed the oil in my 4x4 cossie and it seems to be tapping louder then it did before. On start up it tapped for a bit but then went. but since ive changed the oil it still taps on start up but seems to carry on even after a long drive. the oil is TOTAL 10 / 40w is that to thin? cheeRS

Thats your problem - cheap shitty garage forecourt oil.

Buy Silkoline 10/50 Race from www.opieoils.co.uk and you won't go far wrong.

Cheap shitty oil in a Cosworth is the downfall of many an engine
