   Tappets - in other words you Valves need re timing, Take it to a garage they'll charge Tenner to time them

   i doubt its the tappets as it would constantly do it regardless of if im accelerating or not, it only happens when i accelerate

   sounds like piston slap to me, is it worse when its cold? Nothing you can do about it except ask for your money back
