Haha driven it all last night and tickover is sweet no tapping or rattles at all. Theres a slight Noise when first start up but disapears within the second so its proberly me being paranoid and just the starter motor. :p Also is it normal for the boost to tail off at 6k? Thanks guys really enjoying it so far awesome machine :p

Yeah the power dropping off a cliff at high revs is normal.
That noise when you first turn it on COULD be a vvt sign, got a video clip?

No I dont have a clip. It sounds like the beginning of a sticky starter motor
Sort of like a whine for a split second then goes. Yes it had a female owner from new all the way to 109k
And she traveled high miles to and from work motorway. Got lots of history. Its not perfecr few things need tidying cosmetically, and its so low its rubbing the arches away, so the first thing before anything is to raise it iff its arse!
