Can anyone recommend a mobile mechanic in the Preston area to look at my T25 - got some engine tapping going on and doesn't sound right good so don't want to chance driving it. Supposed to be away in it at the weekend!! It sounds like a tappet but with a sort of popping sound when revving.
This is an engine that we spent £1,000 on last year!!

Re: mobile mechanic
As previous posters said common issue, though I get this as well if I don't use mine for a few weeks. It also is worse if I have semi synthetic oil in it it, rather then mineral.
