I sorted the oil problem I had, only thing is it seems to be using a lot of oil still, and there is a lot of steam/smoke coming out of the breather filters under the bonnet. Didnt know if the two could be related? And when you first start it up untill the engine warms up it idles alot higher?

wish i could help matey im having same problem.. with the oil people keep saying the heads gone, but i been losing oil for like a year.
piston rings is an other one.. ppl say if they gone then time for new engine but im sure if they go you could fix them as engines are man build

I had a new head gasket about 1000 miles ago, was losing oil before and still am. Also when you put the heaters on there completely cold and smell of oil.

Another couple of things actually, gear lever wobbles around a lot while its in gear, my mates car did this when it was only firing on three cylinders. and if you put the blowers on then the revs will drop then pick back up..
