Hi Guys
Hope someone can help me. We have just returned from a long weekend to Portsmouth(320 mls round trip), in my wife`s Ka. Car was running fine until 20 mile`s from home, when the tappets started to get really noisy. I know the Endura E engine is renowned for tappet noise but our Ka`s tappet noise has increase by 50%. Now it sounds like there is one or two really lose one`s under the rocker cover. Does this sound like the tappets just need doing (i.e. trip to get a Haynes manual), or something more serious.
Any help or advice much appreciated
Tony
