Yes all diesels are pretty noisy!!!!!! but wondering if anyone can help me out on this one. Have had my 1993 2.3TD frontera estate now for about 7 years!!!!! Even when I first had it when the engine when hot and at tickover there is a loud heavy tapping noise as if it were a noisy tappet (could be? although when adjusted there is no difference). If I switch the engine off and leave a minute and restart the noise disapears. The noise is only there when the engine is hot - no noise when cold. Doesn't seem to have got worst over the years (bought it with 27k on the clock now 130k). Not overly concerned but if it were an easy/resonable fix I would like to get rid of the noise - and could well decide to hang on to it for longer. Anyone any idea?? Steve
