   Hi there,
   
   Been working on car a bit today and while running there is a very loud ticking noise coming from the here :
   
   
   
   Now i'm crap with mechanics but is this where the tappets are ?
   
   If so should it be really loud, is it easy to fix etc, etc, etc ??
   
   Thanks.

   its probs just the injectors mine are the same (one is worse then the others) (injectors have a relay in them that ticks on and off)

   is it a constant tapping type noise on yours, we didnt think it was that bad till we had the bonnet up and it runs lumpy and sounds terrible
