Thanks again Dave, i do hope it's a simple as something like a rocker pad come loose or similar (would have thought this would be worst from cold, not once warmed up though). Just preparing for worst case scenario i guess.
I did have head gaskets done about 2 years ago & 1 liner on the right hand bank had dropped but didn't look like it had moved recently so maybe come to life again?

Not been used for 4 weeks so flat battery and front tyres needed charging and inflated. Took it for a wee run.

fingers crossed for you its a simple fix once warmed up the oil is thinner so the slightest ticking rattle noise is much louder

Cried on it........

Stopped crying. Went to See Odyssey whose nanocom removed the airbag warning from my dash and put a smile back on my face.

Swore at it

I've got the Oxford Oximiser on the bike. The Rangie lives on the street now, so can't rig up a charger, incase some arse trips over the extension cable I have a solar charger I used on a campervan years ago which is somewhere in the shed.

No good in the shed, get it on the car. I use a solar charger on my Clio in Fuerteventura and an Aldi cheapo m/charger on the R/R here. Never had a problem with the X type, leave it for as long as you like and the battery never flattens!!!!

Went for a trip to the mot garage after putting quickseal chemical metal on exhaust and crossing fingers.
it passed:5bparty: only one advisory small oil leak on cooler pipe,so very happy

orderd new steering damper n shocks hope they arrive in time

bugger me 2 deliveries this morning new shock n damper so i can do some spannering over xmas.

took the steering damper out just to compare what the compression and damper force is required to move it against the check i did on my existing one. bloodyhell can hardly move it.

check your steering dampers people

I gave the Harmon Kardons a good workout while using the M6 and M69 today.

Some U2 and some Queen. Quite loud

Pardon

Checked it,Washed it, polished it, hoovered it,filled it and parked it ready for the journey tomorrow!
