Default The Scooby so far

Since getting my car a couple of weeks ago I just haven't been able to stop driving the thing!
So far I have had a new Sony bluetooth head unit fitted and had the windows tinted by Terry near Chelmsford (big thanks to him and his boys)
I am now looking to change the side repeaters and indicators to clear ones, getting the oil pressure gauge working and then getting a full service done and fittings green panel filter
Will keep you updated on my progress and hope to see many of you there this Saturday at Southend

I had a major service on the car yesterday by Halfords Autocentre, was a little afraid at first but needed to get it sorted ASAP as my brakes felt spongy and needed to be bled ASAP, they charged £220 and was quite comprehensive
There is still a clicking noise when accelerating at low speeds and gets louder with the engine speed, this only happens when gear in engaged and not when in neutral and just revving, I thought it was the cv joint but it's not and disappears when the engine warms up, could this be a knock or hydraulic lifters?

Sorry, it was the way I wrote it! That was for a full service and the brakes bled as part of it
