However.......... I was getting it ready for its 'pre mot' last night, and had it running for about 15 minutes checking for leaks when the bottom end started making noises, not nice noises, like either diesel piston slap, or big end bearings. There is also another sound only when you blip the throttle as it slows back down to idle theres a horrible screeching noise coming from the top right of the engine as you look at it.

Think i need a bebuild!
