When you say noisy tappets, do you mean like a ticking sound when you rev the car, if so, I think im in the boat as you. My dipstick broke off and I had to use a screw to get it out, replaced it from a breakers, in doing so obviously checked the oil and think its time for a change, cars only been owned for a few months so God knows who's put what on it. The oil reads just over 3/4 full and looks real dirty.
My cars on 169,000 Miles, its a 5w30 for the high milage if that's correct.
