Only clattered on low revs!

I can turn it ok and the valves seem to rise and fall but I would be amazed if it hasn't damaged something.

If available I could pick it up, we are the other side of Wisbech.. :-)

I’m only grabbing on the theory that if I have it I won’t ever need it, so no objections here.
Hope it recovers well for you.
