Noisy tappet on 2002 Punto

Now that the cold mornings have arrived we have a very loud rattle when starting from cold, after a few miles it stops; there's no noise restarting when warm. I assume it's a leaky hydraulic tappet, how easy are they to change?

the 1.2 8 valve doesn't have hydraulic tappets, the 16 valve does but is a lot rarer.
