Update* I have been running above said car for 3 weeks now, done about 300 miles and all seems ok except a slight exhaust blow exposed by a blast on the M25 this week and a rattle/knocking from the steering column area when I start it??
Cambelt changed 2 weeks ago. A few squeaks and creaks on the bumpy roads around town, coming i think from the front offside, but some of the side roads near me are like that you would expect to find in a developing country, this car certainly picks up every bump in the road!
