Is it a constant tap which get louder and quicker with the revs rising?Or is it more of a light tap, which disappears after a couple of minutes of the engine running? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

May have a couple of Valves bent if that is the case... It's not majorly hard to do but i'd recommend getting the head pressure tested once off. ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

Spark plugs being loose also give this effect. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |
