   the mk2 have hydraulic tappets but the mk1s like mine are normal and can be adjusted. just keep checking on the oil level and make sure you are using the right oil too

   I always thought that the vtr tappets are adjustable. It is only the vts that are Hydraulic??..??

   The VTS is the only saxo model which has hydraulic tappets. The rest are adjustable.
