Just to ask the question, does anyone else have HLAs with 'character'? Mine seem to be silent most days but other days they just sound terrible, like they're going to break (like today!) It's been standing for at least a couple of days as I've not used it, and it was only a short run into town today, so perhaps it's just that the oil needs to get properly warmed through to quieten them down?? Bloody thing...

Due an oil change? Mine a rattly when it's been left for a while but soon clear.

Not long had a full service due to the Head Gasket work - I've still to do the oil change recommended after getting it home so I will have to get it done ASAP!
Lack of anywhere to do it has been the main issue - I just need to find somewhere with ramps I can borrow, and will also have to get an order in for some fresh coolant and oil... 5w40 should help get it round quickly on start up, hopefully, so I might pick up some of that reduced Shell stuff, or that non-brand-name stuff that I now can't remember the name of but which was cheaper!

A little squirt of slick 50 might help also

Good suggestion, I might have a look at that when I do the oil change
