Well today squeaky started showing some new an interesting behaviour. When idling the revs alternate between 1500 and 2000, makes it sound like I'm revving it up for fun. On a plus side it had cured the problem of cutting out while idling so it's not all bad. The dashboard still lights up like an xmas tree now and then too. Only 3 and half months to the MOT

spray wd-40 or something around the inlet manifold area while the engine is running, (it is a petrol isnt it?)
spray all around where there are joins to see if air is leaking in as its sucking for air. could be that may be.
or may be its a hot rod and you didnt know?! may be its bumblebee!!Oh Nana, what's my name?

I'm putting it in for MOT just to see what it fails on. Can't be worse than a Meastro I once owned, was told the vehicle would be impounded due to the amount wrong with it. If it's an beyond repair failure then there'll be anteresting off road event happening.
as one example of many,my brother in law just picked up an n reg seat ,
a mondeo estate and a fiesta for 350 quid.the fiesta is beyond economic repair but has a 12000 mile lump in it,the n reg seat sold about 2 days later for the initial 350 he paid for all three,and the mondeo estate,whilst a bit tatty has 10 months tax and mot and id now his daily drive,
so give squaky a proper send off!!!Non intercooled nothing.

Best thing to do is take it to a field and invite everyone with a 4x4 along… charge them a fiver each and let everyone drive over the car and see how much it squeaks then
You will have fun and may get enough fivers to buy another cheap runaboutMine WAS a 150 bhp V6 and ran on PETROL
