Ready for MOT!
The clutch didn't free up again, so took the gearbox out today and replaced the clutch. For the first time in 11 years, the car has moved of its own accord.
Exhaust now mounted properly. Followed Paul C's advice and seem to have the engine running sweetly.
There is a kind of light tapping noise as I put strain on the engine, so who knows? More tappety than big end, but until I drive it some distance, I'm not going to know. Might be OK, might be pants. Anyway it will get me to the MOT at least.
