Hi i on start up from cold for 1-2 seconds the engine is quite harsh but quietens down until you have been on a bit of a run when on tick over it sounds bit tappety, i have looked on the tinter web and it suggests it could be the timing chain tensioner, does this need to be replaced or can you adjust it to take up the slack from the chain? thanks for your help
