I’ve tried hydraulic lifter treatments from Wynns and Liqui-Moly but without success so have resigned myself to the fact I’ll have to get them replaced, however this seems easier said than done as I’ve now approached several local garages who won’t even quote for the job! So I guess my main question is, can anybody recommend a garage in the Alsager, Crewe, Congleton, Stoke area who a, will actually quote for the work and b, hopefully not require me to sell a kidney to pay for the repair 😳
Thanks in advance 😊👍🏻

Don't overlook the vacuum pump . If it is pumping hard trying to build up a vacuum it ejects the air it collects into the back of the pump and out into the camshaft area so will cause a chuff chuff noise !
