Ok, after being fed up getting deafened by the engine noise I decided I'd put it in my local garage to give it a check over. This is the outcome.
1. General check - engine noise
2. The camchain is noisy
3. The exhaust noise is from number 4 cylinder on the exhaust manifold
4. Slight play in nsf and osf wheel bearings
5. There are perished bushes on the rear suspension
6. Slight wear in propshaft rubber to rear of gearbox and slight wear in the centre joint
7. Slight wear in the brake discs
8. Oil leak at rear differential
9. The near side chassis and floor pan are badly corroded and holed
Now, what to do? do it up over the course of its 8 month mot or sell it as spares or repairs? I think I owe it to myself to pay a visit to the person who mot'd this car and see what answer he comes up after being shown this list lol.
