    Yes sounds like a timing chain fault. Any lack of performance or lights on dash?

    Where you based about mate?

    No lights on dash seems to run absolutely fine changed the oil and filter today

    Have noticed last few days she seems to be in to higher gear as sluggish and seems to skip up and down gears a bit but that's another story

    Getting 125 miles to quarter of a tank still returning 25mpg
