Surely if its valve's tapping the pistons I will here it all the time, in this case once she's warmed up the noise stops

Check the spark plugs to see if one is slightly loose can cause a noise like that.

well, I think a tapper is unlikely i've heard them before and is nothing like the sound, lifters is sounding something like it, could be slightly varnished maybe??

I had this problem literally yesterday. Never made the noise before, cambelt done less than 10k ago.

It stopped once it was warm and hasn't happened since. I'm going to check the plugs over the weekend, fingers crossed thats what it is. Th enois eit made, made me think the belt had slipped a tooth and fubard the block.
