So we can safely assume noises aren't good...

...TD 90 with lt77 and lt230.

Noises:

Clunk on taking up drive.
Scrape or rattle or squeal (depending on its mood) when moving. These noises get worse, the more revs put on and go away when declutched.
Squealy brakes...

Oh, and not forgetting the engine no longer turns off when ignition switched off, which i assume is it running on oil, but I've heardread that this tends to be while revving madly. Mine just idles normally then eventually turns off. I've not tested this, but there seems to be a correlation in the time/speed it's been running and the time it idles past being turned off...

Anyone with any diagnosiseseses?

All i can say is it seems f***ed...
And her MOT is next month, so it's all fun and games.

Clutch release bearing knackered.
Squealy brakes... Check discs, pads, retaining pins and anti-squeal shims (if fitted).

Faulty stop solenoid.

Just my guesses, but you should be able to fix all that for under £100.
 
Thanks, how do I go about checking the things you suggested?

Oh, and I've got rear drums, so is it likely that the only real way to stop the brakes squealing is to swap for a disco axle for the discs?
