Default Critique my engine sound please

I'm not overly familiar with these cars as this is the only one I have ever known. After a lot of hassle and new bits, it's running fine-ish.

I wonder if you experts would have a listen to this recording. I'm not convinced that it's running on all 8 or doesn't have a slight miss....

Oh... ignore the belt light. It's not true. That and the coolant light are under investigation.

I've reached a level of considerable paranoia about this car!

I finally got it out for a proper blast around the country lanes where I live and it was properly good fun. It pulls really well. Gearbox is a bit rough but I'm lucky it's working at all given the recent water/AFT mixing incident.

They quit using those long ago. It's all ball bearings now days.
