Anybody any experience of this on a Mondeo? Car on 130k miles, but newer engine on supposedly 80k. There was some tappety type noise on accelleration.

So what you recon? Easy Fix or Terminal? What specifically could be causing it? Would valves be bent also? (though think it only happened while trying to start the car as opposed to when the car was running)
