Thanks for all the replies.......guess everybody was too busy commenting on fastlife91's multiple threads to notice mine lol.

Anyway,got torn in about it today and have been speaking to Paul from p.j motorsport.
I sent him a video and he said to check the cams.
The high part of the lobe looks nice and shiny,no visible sign of wear but the rest of the lobe is worn through the hardened part and therers some pitting on a couple of lobes,exhaust cam being the worst.

The parts list is growing as I broke the bottom pulley which was stuck solid,I need a timing belt and I might buy an alloy rad as I had to remove the standard rad to get into the pulley and it's always annoyed me it's standard and the intercooler is alloy.

Hoping to get the cams checked somehow to see if they are worn and tonight I'll check the follower buckets for oil supply by winding it over with the followers removed.
Still can't see anything that makes me immediately say 'that's it' but the cams are suspicious!
