Not much of an update, cars knocking noise is still there but it's not causing any noticeable issues just yet and I've done 700 miles-ish on it. Will need to pull my finger out and buy a wishbone see if that solves it then continue replacing bits till its sorted.
Had a lot of expenditure this week, bought train tickets to edinburgh for me and the mrs and a hotel for a few days so my wallet was shaking going to CMC today to get my timing belt changed.
Left the car at CMC headed into town walked back in the pouring rain and saw the sax waiting, £126 out of pocket and the car feels more torquey... if thats even possible

everything just felt more precise. Going to let the belt bed in for the next 500miles (save myself on fuel too) Then it's off to evo triangle during easter with a few mates for a roadtrip
A bit left to get sorted before Scotland and FCS but should be sorted by the summer
