Hi All

Just brought a 2001 Ka for the Mrs and have noticed that it has a strange clicking, ticking noise coming from the engine bay and i'm completely baffled to what it could be! We have noticed that it does get louder with speed and i was wondering maybe if anyone else had this problem and had any ideas to what i could be?

Thanks any help is really appreciated

 

Tappets want adjusting, very common will sound like a type writer-lol

 

thats exactly what it sounds like! is this job 'Do able' for a novice? Thanks so much for your very fast reply

 

Ps i thought id say it actually sounds almost like a diesel engine
