    Tints were a very generous gift off a member ( you know who you are )

    Eh a couple of issues unfortunatelly, ive an oil leak from the rocker gasket seal, a slight leak from the gearbow where the drive shaft goes into it from the drivers side, and just lately im getting an unnerving ticking sound whilst accelerating from a stand still, tried to listen for it and it sounds like its coming from the belt side of the engine maybe a pulley ?

    Really need that checking out QUICKLY !!!!

    Oh and my bloody tyre issue as well
