Hey,
When i start the car up in there theres this tapping noise which gets faster depending on how fast I go, it only lasts for about 2/3 mins and after i put my foot down a little bit it seems to go away. What is this? tappets? or could it be somethin a bit more serious? I know im probably answering my own question but it sounds like a much quieter version of this:

Is there a way I can stop this noise? do i need to? is it expensive?
Cheers!
Edit: I got pleanty of oil in it.

I can't hear the video as I have no speakers but the description is most likely to be lifters.
You could potentially remove them, take them to their consituant parts, clean and re-assemble but the top end where they are will drain of oil when turned off anyway, but you may reduce/eliminate it.
