Great, things are looking good there.

If it was mine I'd do a few frequent oil changes - every couple of weeks for a couple of months.
YMMV.

Brilliant :D

Just remember to stuff rag behind the pump and get a good lump of Blu-Tak along with a good 12mm cranked ring spanner and some Plus-gas and you'll be fine :wink:

Have found RichardW's (good name that!) guide for the Xantia plug change, so will arm myself with that as well!
