Car belongs to a friend. Had a service done by a National chain last summer as I was on holiday. Never used a drop of oil since I have been servicing it but after a few thousand miles suddenly the top end got very noisy. He checked the oil and found it off the bottom of the stick. Topped up with fresh oil the noise persists but its intermittent. Some days totally silent other times you cant hear the radio, its that bad. It can change in the course of a journey.I was going to change the lifters but I dont think they are the fault, only the symptom.
