Many thanks Dexter for all the typing!! I have decided to have the work done as the body is realy good and front shocks and brake disks have been replaced in last year and rest of car is in good shape, so fingers crossed it should run on for a few years yet. My reasoning is I cant sell car for much with engine faulty, and to replace it with a similar age one I may end up with the same and / or other problems and I cant aford a nice shiny new one yet! Vesku I dont think its valve adjuster, it is deffinitly a rattle and a sliding metal over metal sound - cant realy describe in words. I have had two opinions from 2 good garages both think its chains. Presumably when engine is warm the tolerances change as it expand so it quietens?
