Tapping noise from top of engine

Hi all. Interested as well as to if the OP managed to get to the bottom of this.

I've got a ticking from the rear of the engine on the driver's side (UK) when warm. You can hear it at idle and noise gets faster with revs. Drives fine. No issues with smoke power etc. Not sure my noise is exactly like this. Sounds like a ticking exhaust but can't find anything externally.

Anyways sorry for rambling.

Could possibly be a cracked exhaust manifold
 
Hi

ticking noise back of the engine drivers side will normally be the cam chain, can see in the other pics where the cams are joined

first things to check if the oil pump has been changed and when , what grade of oil is being used and how long it takes for the oil light to go out , what year is the disco plse

plus 1 if ur able to get a video recording of the sound please

also best to check the oil pressure in order to rule that out

hope that also helps
