    bit of an odd 1, 1.8 driver (gu) 4000 mile old engine, when started up cold there is a random (not in sync with idle) "clicking" from timing belt/mid block region, not a tappit.

    any ideas?

    noise goes away after 3 mins of ticking over.

    Any given gutter, any given day.
    Maybe the tensioner getting noisy?
