Hi guys,

My names Steve and I live in Australia. I recently purchased a Ford Fiesta 1.6 Litre Duratec model. It a 2006 model and has a very low 17 000 miles (27 000kms).

The car is immaculate but i have noticed there is an engine tapping/ knocking sound. Seems to be coming from the top of the motor. Its especially audible when the car is cold and as revs right the tapping sound gets faster and faster - it still makes the sound when the engines warm although its much harder to hear. Its mainly from 1000 - 3500 revs

With such low miles what could it be? i doubt the tappets or anything could be worn with such low mileage - i have checked the oil and that is fine.

Another quick question - I cant find anywhere inside the car to "lock" the doors - there is simply no button or switch - help?

Cheers guys,

Steve
