DaxCobra Messages 9,303 Norwich,Norfolk Messages GTP_DaxCobra Mar 2, 2013 #5 Yeah, the OHV engine is tappety. That's just how they are. Mine is tappety and it only has 58k miles, and my friends is the same.

You can always hear a Mk3 Fiesta 1.3 coming. Or a Ka.

Actually, my Dad's friend just bought a OHV Fiesta for his son, and my Dad actually told him to make sure the engine is tappety.
