Duncan, this isn't a car I'm running on bangernomics principles. The clutch, exhaust and alternator have all been replaced recently. I've had it from new and it's a long term prospect for 15yrs and 200k.
The work to sort out the valve clearances was completed today and is reported as having solved problems. I'm on hols so The Lad picked it up and he says it as running fine but then he's got my Dad's feel for mechanicals so the jury's still out.
Will file a concluding report when I'm back home next week.
