I wonder if anyone can give me a idea where to look. the car is a mitsubishi fto 2.0 mivec tiptrnic auto. The car ticks over and runs brilliantly but when you take your foot off the gas you get a loud clicking noise, this lasts untill you put your foot back on the gas. It only lasts a second or so if you rev it out of gear. Cheers for any help

Neighbour had similar problem with one that hasn't long been imported. We removed the rocker covers to find the cams dry and covered in rust.
Even then that wasn't the cause of the noise. Turned out to be slighlty worn main bearings allowing pistons to "brush" the valves.
Importer promptly offered to fit an exchange engine.
Same neighbour also had a Toyota Estima diesel and again worn main bearings.
FWIW another neighbour has a MANUAL FTO for sale when they get around to advertising. MOT'd and running order - they now have an Astra coupe.
