ive had a ticking noise as well, and i found it to be the ignition timing, it was just present whenever i would acelerate, so i got the old size 13 spanner out loosened off the but just under the distributor, and then slightly twisted the distributor clockwise.
it seemed to fix the problem, but i was then majorly down on power, so i would drive for a bit, get out, change it slightly again, untill i finally found the sweet spot, where there is a nice power output, and no ticking..
the easier option is to get a light that will tell you the sweet spot, but thats no fun... and i didnt have one handy
just a thought
more fun than it seems, MkIII
