Ok so car has been running pretty sweetly lately.
HOWEVER, a couple of recent occasions I have noticed a kind of cracking sound at idle it's very intermittant and only does it when hot.
No other symtpoms.
The first time I noticed it the car was very hot and had been sat in traffic for well over 10mins stop start.
Today I was stopped at roadworks for about a minute and noticed it again.
I presume it's valve train maybe valve clearances but the engine only has 6k on it so surely the clearances are not out...
Any thoughts?
UPDATE:
Some videos from today

Listen very carefully around 27-29 secs and again at 1:06 once.
