    Question tapping / ticking sound

    My scoob first thing in morning when i start it makes a tapping / ticking sound from engine for around 30 min then is fine it only in morning when car has been left for a long time . I have got opie oils silclone oil in and i have done the oil filter . The sound is sometimes abit louder than other depending on how cold it is, have i got anything to worry about ?

    I also have need to sort out my power steering does any 1 no how to bleed it as when i put the air intake pipe on i took the pipe off the pump and its not been wright since ?

    start car, go full lock left and hold for 5 seconds, then right for 5, center it up then check level, go left, right lock to lock a few times which should help, as for the ticking, sounds like piston slap, was a common problem on 98 cars but your blob eye should be ok, prob best to pop it into tillies if your close enough for it to still tick on arrival
