Changing Tappets
Is this a job that can be done without removing the engine (2.0GL) from the car?
Also any views on the cost to replace.
Not sure if they're hydraulic or not but the engine sounds like a tractor sine it overheated (caused by a duff radiator cap losing pressure allowing water to escape via the expansion tank
)
Any advice appriciated.
