Bother,

I hope you don't have too many more problems, Rich. You've had more than you need.

Funny story about mine. When I went to look at it it was supposed to be a sweet runner. When we started it up to take it for a test drive, it had a low down, deep knock like a big end bearing knock. The knock increased with the engine rev's and didn't sound too good. We then negotiated a much better price and I arranged for it to be back loaded to home.
When it arrived at home, it was unloaded in the yard, but not where I wanted it. So, after the truck left I started it up and there was no knock. Well, an intermitant knock is worst than a constant knock, so I drove it carefully to where I wanted it and then had a good look at it. Checked the lights, horn, indicators etc. All worked. I then decided to try the tyre pump and guess what, the knock returned. Sometimes you just have to have a win. Doesn't happen often enough though. And No! I didn't engage it in the first place. (Didn't think of it).

Good Luck.

Rick.
