is it "plinking"! Cos that is a really cheap as fix, like just tightening with a torque wrench i think, but yeah shouldn't be too expensive.

makes a ticking noise. Mechanic just rang and they are going to call me back with a quote. They said it needs replacing.

yep . a TAPPET (makes a tapping noise when too loose)
price, and even if it needs replacing rather than just adjusting depends entirely on the car

If you lift your bannet, you'll see there is an ongine under there. Inside the ongine there is a cumshift which makes the vulves open and close. Between the cumshift and the vulves there are lefters which are pumped up by eel pressure as the ongine turns. These are sometimes known as tippets and if they aren't pimping up properly the result will be a ruttle or tipping noise.

what car make engine number! tapets be the one be good to know what engine so we can see if it has hydraulic self adjusting ones or not. most people ignore the noise or use a additive like pronmar or what ever the name was to fix the noise mitsu$hitheap use promar loads to fix them heaps. it maybe what your mechanic is gona use be 40 to 100$ with oil change . and normally hydro tapets dont make noises when you change the oil on time. exempted are mitsubisheaps.
