Replacing them is a piece of piss but ythey usually wear with the camshaft so you will probably find that needs changing as well. The limit for a CVH cam is about 70,000 miles so if you are over that you really will want to change the lot

Isn't the 1.4 a CVH engine? If it is then the tappets will be hydraulic lifters and you won't be able to adjust them, they'll need replacing with a new cam.
