Thanks guys, nice to have a bit of peace of mind! My last few cars have been 2L petrols and this one is much pokier and gets a good 1/3rd better MPG so i'll happily live with the clicking noise. I've been driving it round country roads in the highlands this weekend and its been fantastic
Chris since getting mine completely fixed it'll start on a morning at 1100RPM, before dropping to about 600 after maybe 20 seconds, where it'll occasionally have a tiny judder/shake but pretty much stay at 600. I'm not entirely clued up but I am pretty sure this is a normal healthy thing for any car to do when starting for the first time for the day
