I was thinking about buying it and breaking it for parts :lol: :lol: Motegi kit, those alloys and some random bits that some might need.. £600 is a bargain. :?

Sounds like someone had a wild stab at what might be "wrong". Probably just the valve clearances, auxiliary pumps or water pump etc... I had tappy noises from my H22a8 but it was my water pump.

I just noticed that you live in Harrow and specifically 'Charles Crescent' and I actually delivered post on that street on last Saturday. Could have just had a look then. :lol: ;)

H22's are not known for that at all. I'm guessing it's been badly abused at some point in its life...
