Mazda 6 TS2 02 Plate

I've had this car about a year now, and it keps giving me issues.

Had to go through a full engine replacement a few months back, had a flat whilst giving my ex-wife a lift, I hit a bollard in it, and had issues with the elkectrics when I first bought it.

Now it's started being naughty again. At low revs it's developed a bit of a tapping noise. It's not loud and disappears as soon as I put my foot down. Any ideas, is it just showing it's age? Or do i need to flog it before it dies on me?

No, it wasn't the cars fault. I blame poor town planning personally. (It was not, however, my fault at all. No way Jose!!)

Cheers Zac, I knew someone would understand. These bollards have a tendancy to jump into the sides of peoples cars when they least expect it. Dangerously suicidal little buggers.

If you had your replacement engine a few months back it should be still under warranty (if you got it from a reputable source). The tapping could be one of many things. If you got your engine from the scrappy or from a back street source i.e. he advertised it as a recon engine when in fact he pulled it out of a MOT failure crate, steam cleaned it and painted it like new.....then I'd get rid while it's still driveable.
