Technical Noisey tappets?

[Advanced Driver]

I started my car this morning and had funny clattering noise for about 10 seconds. Sounded like the tappets, or a REALLY noisey injector. The same thing happened to me once before, about a year ago. Any ideas what it was and why it did it [?] Does it just do it to remind us that it's a FIAT

My oil level should be OK. Did it just not get the oil up there quick enough. My injector is usually fairly noisey, but this noisey was probably too loud to be the injector unit.

903 rattlers only existed for a v short period in 1993. The enginw sa reduced to 899cc for tax evasion purposes!!
