   nothing to worry about tbh. Tappets might just need re setting most garages will charge £20-40. I wouldnt worry about it though

   same issue, it is 100% coming from the throttle body. Sounds like a sewing machine. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

   I get a noise like this when engine has been turned off then sometimes after a few seconds there is tapping from the throttle body.

   Will a scrappy throttle body from another 1.1 fix the same issue?
   
   100% sound coming from throttle body btw before anyone says tappets again

    I get this too, i only really hear it though when im coming to a stop, its like from 10mph to 0mph the car ticks, sounds like its coming from behind the footwell in the engine bays, passenger side.
    
    To be honest i've never been in a car that rattles and makes so many different odd noises! Good ole saxo's!!

    anyone able to offer some advice? Would love to get this fixed but don't know whats causing it!
    
    Could I get a throttle body from another 1.1 and replace it and see if that fixes it?
