Ah right, nothing major then. Mine rattles too but I can only bolt it down at one side as the cam cover is naff.

Well as the AFM was un-plugged that might be one reason for the ECU light been on!

Been for a highly un-road worthy spin up the road, one headlight and no front bumper but pleased to say everything seemed to go ok.

Minor water leak is all thats shown up at the moment.

Slight progress, got the water leak sorted and sure i have sorted the battery charging problems. Water leak was caused by a missing jubilee clip on a hose on the inlet and the battery charging issues were caused by a loose wire on the alternator.

Just waiting on some roose hoses to use on the air flow meter to turbo pipe as i am not certain the conduit tube was 100% air tight.
