My old mum had one of these 10 years ago or so, my biggest memory is how unbelievably loud the engine was. It had the trick of being louder inside the car than outside too. Tough old thing though.
The LAGALAGLAGLAGLAGLAGLAGLAG is ok once you're rolling, but can be a bit noisy at idle. I think there's maybe an engine damper that needs replacingThis great. Watching with interest.
Blog is also well written and short enough to accommodate my (lack of) attention.

"Today was the day for a pre-MOT perusal in preparedness for potential procurement of parts pertaining to passing. Polo properly positioned, we pumped up the jack and set to dissecting the diesel."
