Think I'm just going to leave it in the garage out of sight for a few weeks/months until I decide what to do. Fix it or break it and scrap the remains.

If you're taking a break from it anyway then find someone who can do the wiring for you and do the swap over the winter.  You will NOT regret it!

There are plenty of good PB's about.

Links or STFU  :tongue:  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll get a vid of the noise/knock later in the week.

I would not scrap it, look at fixing it.  :smiley:

If you scrap it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. put her away over winter months and look out for a cheap engine.

You offering on the wiring front DH?  :grin:

Cheers for the replies. We'll see, I probably won't get rid of it but I need a break from it for a while I think and decide a route forward.

Here's a vid of the knocking noise if anyone's interested and fancies having a go at 'guess what's fubbard'  :laugh:
