It stood for a couple of weeks with the trader but it's been driven every day since I bought it 10 days ago. I did think it could be a dry tappet as I had it jacked up high on one side only but surely it wouldn't drain and become lazy over the space of 3 hours?!
Will take it for a thrash tomorrow and see. Could just be me being paranoid!
