little update, finally gave it a wash 
sorted out an erratic headlight issue and changed the bulbs over to nightbreakers, i actually have some light on the road now
still waiting on the exhaust spacer gaskets coming, so replaced the front bolt of the manifold flange and sealed over with exhaust paste just to help for now, whilst under there i found the bottom coolant hose on the rad was leaking, thats been sorted now too.
also tidied up the breather with a filter for now
expect more updates this week

it was dark when i finished so havent taken any, there will be later in the week though when i've finished with the tweaks
im sure if abyss has drove past he can confirm its now a red cinq with white wheels rather than a brown cinq with brown and grey wheels
hopefully gaskets arrive early tomorrow so i can fit then go and get a few little parts for the next planned tweaks

strange incident today, flashed my headlights to let a bus out and the engine cut out lol, started again first time on 3 cylinders, quick blip of the throttle and it was back on 4. strange. has to be an earth issue tbh
other answer? dont let busses out
i wonder if my alternator light sometimes not going out after starting until i blip the throttle is connected? alternator is working fine, all been checked and the charge rate is solid even with everything running. it's always done this with the alt light.

full autopsy hopefully at somepoint tomorrow. belt was fairly new, tensioned correctly.
there was suddenly a whine at idle when curing the exhaust paste that died away in 5 seconds, car wasn't 100% happy either at idle but sorted itself.

Well at least you don't have to hold the throttle open at about 2500RPM just after starting....
If I don't kick the engine into life it'll just stall itself....
Going back to the Car Doctor on Thursday for more tests to be carried out on it.
Hopefully it'll get a clean 'Bill' of health & I'll pick up 1 hell of a bill...
Oh & that's after I lighten my account by £85 for 2 new budget Tyres on Monday.
