Sorry about the numerous topics i am posting! Out of the blue my tappets have started to make a noise - what is the cause \ cure? Could this be linked to a recent service 2 weeks ago? It sounded sweet when I first got it back but not so great now.
If it helps the oil used was Vavolino 15/50 (is this a crappy oil? Should I have told them to use Mobil 1?)
Reading other TVR forums I have noticed this is a general problem - are the Wedge's tappets self-adjusting too? ie hydraulic

Dave - yes the tappets are hydraulic (unless someone has fitted solid lifters) - which is unlikely.
The thicker oil's are generally better - less oil consumption and this should be fine.
If you have a tappet noise - it could be a coincisence
but it would be worth checking oil level / pressure is
ok.
You should also consider taking it back to the garage who serviced it - play dumb and polite - it always gets
the best results.
