1. There is a slight tapping noise at idle - is this normal?

2. On acceleration there seems to be a rattle at 3000 rpm - 3500 rpm from the rear left side of the engine (lower), after this point it goes - a very loose rattle at that (mechanical)

3. On starting the ignition just clicks and after several attempt will fire up no problem... could this be a poor terminal connecting.
1.&2.the tapping noise may possibly be the lifters inside the engine. as you rev it, more oil pressure may quiet them-which is not good. they should be quiet all the time.
