Could change oil and filter if not been done for a while , using a good make of oil and see if that helps. If not fixed , Wynns do a hydraulic tappet cleaner additive .Some people swear by it , others dont like it .

the revs on tick over have also started to flutter up and down and has once totally cut out but started straight away again.
