This update won't come close to reflecting the amount of grief this thing has caused me in the last week or so, but since i can't make your computer scream and rage at you in a thoroughly alarming manner this will just have to do. (Why's there no drama-queen smiley?) Between trying 8 different aux belts from the motor factors; random extra wires, shit battery, poor connections and generally appalling wiring; an awkward, random and shit fuel system that drained all the way back to the tank then refused to bleed; mindlessly redoing the timing despite knowing it was right the first time; and a pump that has decided it's going to leak everywhere despite not being touched - i have just about had enough. 
Nearly deafened myself earlier when listening to see if the glow plugs were working and some left-over propane (didn't have easy-start) ignited, that was fun, and am still feeling slightly rough after she filled the garage with fumes with some chronic blow-by. However, she is running! More or less good to go now, aside from a bad water pipe connection down the back that i can fix one dry evening this week, with any luck i'll be testing her on the road in a couple of days.
Thankfully a good friend has been kind enough to lend me their car for the week, so i can now finish this at a slightly less hectic pace and not have to get to work silly early every day - Charli and I are sharing one car at the moment and work in opposite directions from home.
If the 205 behaves when i come to road-test her in the week i might even take some pictures, what are the chances...
