Does it sound louder than normal when its idling?

If so... oh dear, mine did this 2 weeks ago and it was the timing belt tensioner had exploded and the bottom pulley had just about gone too

Same car too and same year

Edit: also it was booked in for a timing belt change the following week and was on 106k

what oil diod you use and when is the last oil change?

sometime poor oil quality will give you tapping noise.

not sure what oil, not expensive though. maybe oil and filter change will sort it out..

mine does the same. been told its a leaky injector. if you listen you can hear it. mine sounds like a steam train but keeps on going. even at 171k miles.. dont worry but if you fix it let us know. think iv read the injectors are very hard to remove so iv not even considered trying to fix it yet
