...when it was idleing and we had the bonnet up, I noticed this clicking noise every few seconds... Not sure if it's cause for concern... I am going to get RACV test before purchase but was hoping some of you guys may be able to shed some light onto what it might be?
Extra info - It's an 94 EF fairmont, couple of dings here and there, but in fairly good condition, 160,000kms |

to save a bit of money look for these problems
Rust inside the doors rust anywhere near the car look at the dip stick if oils low it might be burning it check if the gearbox changes gears smoothly check for exhaust leaks like holes in the exhaust check the water in the reservoir tank if on MAX thats good make sure its not loosing water you might have problems down the track Check Brakes, tyres, make sure the boot doesnt smell like water these heaps more but others will addon

Thanks for all the info, will definitely keep all this in mind, tempted to even print it off as a checklist 
And yeah, not just first time ford owner, first time car owner... Front bumper has minor damage, contemplating whether its worth the expense... How much would a new front bumper for an EF cost?? |

Ohhh i see. The ticking wasn't that loud, definitely wasn't audible with the bonnet shut. If it were the lifters would that be a problem..? Or still just normal??

if u cant hear it when the bonnet is shut then its probably your injectors mate, my lifters can be heard from the next suburb.
