Thanks Lads, I finally got to speak to him today. Told him that I wasn't even going to touch the engine because of the fuel, his reply "well tractors run on it ok" I replied "well it aint a f*****g tractor, pick it up with £75 cash in ya hand and I will give you the keys", after pleading poverty he finally agreed, so Fri eve I will show him the difference a tractor and a Peugeot 306 HDi, here comes the pleasure of seeing him cringe handing over what I call a very reasonable charge for 2 1/2 hours diagnostic work.
Will soon be the weekend, can't wait for that popping sound the wine bottle makes,,, hicccccccc!
