Ticking from engine?????
Discussion
Dear all
Only owned my 2001 Tuscan for around 4 weeks now and yesterday I decided to pop the roof off and enjoy the rays. However whilst driving I noticed a ticking sound coming from the engine. It could only be heard when I was excellerating not while the engine was idelling.
Any thoughts on what this could be? Is it the normal sound of the SP6 engine?

My 2001 Tuscan 4.0 had the same sound. It was serviced at the factory and they said it was normal. Whilst I owned the car there we're no engine problems.
My 2005 Tamora 3.6 Red Rose doesn't have the 'ticking' sound.

mines done this since i bought it two years ago, I was told it was normal, buy some ccc cans and you wont hear it as much
