Next thing on the list was the rattling exup valve. Unbelievably the exup cover had 3 different bolts fitted and then when i removed the cover the bolts holding the exup to the exhaust were battery terminal bolts! They are as soft as sh*te!! The first snapped the head clean off, but i managed to get the other two out. 
I removed the snapped one with big vice grips on the remaining thread and slowly removed it :woot I stripped the exup down thoroughly cleaned it and gave a light rub down until shiny. I then thoroughly coated in high quality heat resistant lithium or ceramic (grey stuff) grease, reassembled, adjusted cables and hey presto a perfectly functioning exup. Oh.. while i remember the spring that sits between the pulley and valve were missing, so i made one and it seems to work well. Fitted flip screen courtesy of clanadam. It was clear from top to bottom, so it showed behind the clocks , i masked it off and sprayed the bottom of the screen with some satin black paint. Looks good, hopefully it will work well. Find out tomorrow when going to work.

If it's broken, it's not fixed.
