Cheers mate.

Thankyou Niz
It's a bit of a list I'm afraid
Misfiring on start and very rough running; disappears after about 30 seconds. I tried cleaning idle air valve, no difference (I'm not even sure if it's working)
Oil leak which appears to be coming from back of engine; not 100% sure as there's a lot of spray
What sounds like driveshaft knock on offside (I'm not sure as I've never come across it before)

Much less frequent since I put some fresh oil in though
Bottom engine mount shot!
Coolant leaking around thermostat housing (changed rad and bottom hose; top hose is knackered and needs doing too; it had ballooned the other day after a run; not sure if that was air left in system after changing the bottom hose or leakage around 'stat housing)
Left hand cooling fan dead
Knocking from front offside; I've changed antirollbar bushes and drop links both sides front and rear as they were knackered, still does it
Not sure on condition of turbo; I can hear it spooling up and get good boost but I'm not sure how it's been affected by this oil leak
Top air hose (from airbox) split (bound it with insulation tape for now!)
Airbox knackered; lid screws rusted and previous owner has butchered it
