a couple of easy techie questions...
Apologies if these have been asked before - I did search first but can't find exactly what I'm looking for!
* Could someone tell me what the little switch on the dashboard marked '1 2' does?
* The top end of the engine 'ticks' when cold, but stops ticking when warm. Likely a valve clearance issue (haven't checked them yet) but wondered if I should do something immediately or if it's one of those 'they all do that sir' jobs.
cheers

ticking when cold is tappets, dont worry about them unless they do it all the time.

If you have solid tappets then you can shim them.
Like i say nothing to worry about unless its excessive.
Oh and also engine related questions should be posted in the big block section :wink:
