    Yep all sorted now. The plug on No 6 cylinder was loose, checked all the other plugs and they were tight. I did change the plugs about 7 months ago and have done about 8,000 miles since then, and they were definatley done up then. How strange!

    Thanks very much for the help, I really do appreciate it.

    Same thing here; checked the plugs, thought they were equally tight, and still had the mystery pop/tick noise.

    I would have sworn on a stack of (book of choice) that they were all tight but #6 wasn't...I can't tell you how many spark plugs I have changed in five years of mechanicing but this made me wonder if I ever missed a few.

    Glad you sorted yours out,
