Every 300 miles then

Yep oil change due.

Will an oil change sort it or will i need to replace the tappets.

Does it get quieter as the engine warms???

(And yes Baz, every 300 miles )

[user1664]

nope, if i rev it up the ticking goes away but when it warmed up its not as loud and sometimes no noise at all

An oil change will probably clear that then!

Whatever oil you normally use (some recommend a semi synth but ask about) 8)

Will be the tappets mate. I wouldnt worry about it if i were you. The only thing that shut mine up was some oil improver (Tec 2000) Its like twice as thick as treacle. Now i only get tappety noise occasionally on start up and even then it goes away after 5-10 ticks.
