does it go away if you rev it or does it stay? are you based in dublin?

Liam, does the noise only appear @ 2k rpm? Hows your oil level, any engine lights coming on? Can you be more specific about the sound, does it occur at idle as well as when driving? If so, get someone to rev the engine and take a closer look to see if you can pinpoint the source of the noise.

looking at it to night hope it is only tappets

Could be that the bearings are shot... that normally only shows itself at a certain range of revs.

is that going to cost a lot to fix
