Is it common for older high milage VTR's to sound a bit tappity? What should I be paying to get the tappits adjusted?

Yeh mine taps! i'm going to adjust them myself in a couple of weeks...will let you know how it goes!

mine taps as well, think its definitely common with the high mileage mk1's

should only get charged about 35quid if you get a garage to check/adjust the tappets.

Mine taps aswell, only got 59k on clock.

Notice when its running at full temperature...but mine is to be done within next few weeks.

Thanks guys will get mine booked in to local garage next week and get it sorted. Phoned Citroen main dealer service dept today asked for a quote to adjust them, he was convinced that all vtr's had hydraulic tappets and they wern't adjustable. Just shows what they know eh!
