Sounds like your hydraulic tappets sticking slightly. nearly all Clios at this sort of age will do it a bit but its not something to worry about.
Mine tends to start doing it when its due an oil change.

thanks mate
My valver does it, even worse with new oil!!! thicker oil is meant to help but try forte top end treatment!!
as above, try some Forte Top End Treatment

halfords mineral 10 40 does a good job at ridding the noises
