Ooh, didn’t think to check there.. thanks!if you dont get one, lidl have had one in the middle aisle last week for £40
Not poorly poorly but tired. Using oil so I suspect possibly rings are a bit sh!tty.The 200 isn’t poorly is it?
I've heard beaniesport are goodNot poorly poorly but tired. Using oil so I suspect possibly rings are a bit sh!tty.
220k and time for some TLC. Am weighing up the options of a strip and rebuild (but struggling to find someone i want to do it) or fling a low mileage second hand engine in 🤷🏼♀️
At causing more problems with your money !I've heard beaniesport are good
Maybe give AWmotorworks a call?Not poorly poorly but tired. Using oil so I suspect possibly rings are a bit sh!tty.

I want to get the map removed so that’ll be a trip up to RSTuning at some point.
I'm sure that would go down well 😂Maybe give AWmotorworks a call?

Yes they are who you’re thinking of, and they have a good reputation. But, and it’s a reasonably sized but, they used to be together. And now they’re not.Hang on, they not the right place I’m thinking of? They have a good rep yeah?
You saying sash has a reasonably sized butt?Yes they are who you’re thinking of, and they have a good reputation. But, and it’s a reasonably sized but, they used to be together. And now they’re not.
Delicately put… 🤣Yes they are who you’re thinking of, and they have a good reputation. But, and it’s a reasonably sized but, they used to be together. And now they’re not.
Doh! 😩 if you’re back down this way (Braintree more specifically, although in theory I could meet you anywhere as it does run and drive 🤣) let me know!@Sash mine is on my van and if I pass over the next week or so I'll let you know.... annoyingly I was in Basildon yesterday...
That’s the best I could do! I have the tact of a sledge hammer and a piece of glass I’m afraid 😂Delicately put… 🤣
There’s no ill feelings from my end…
@NorthloopCup it did get to burning through 1ltr in just over 1k. Using genuine elf/castrol.
I started using Lucas oil stabiliser which extended it to 1ltr every 5k but over the last couple years it got less and less again.
Changed the PCV and lambda and it’s back up to 1ltr every 3k.
Oil has always stunk of petrol hence changing it every 5k to reduce the effects of oil dilution issues.
The oil stabiliser thickens it up a fair bit.That’s the best I could do! I have the tact of a sledge hammer and a piece of glass I’m afraid 😂
What grade is the oil you’re filling it with? You could always try going up a weight. So let’s assume you’re running a 5w40, you could up it to a 10w40, or even a 10w60. It would slow it down on the burning side.
But with you saying it always stinks of petrol, has it always done that? Or only after the map?
Ah ok. I was under the impression you’d had it mapped in your ownership.The oil stabiliser thickens it up a fair bit.
It’s always done it (it was mapped before I bought it). It’s been mapped for over 200k now.
@Sash mine is on my van and if I pass over the next week or so I'll let you know.... annoyingly I was in Basildon yesterday...
That is also a possibility 🤔 I’m not ruling anything out right this moment.Sure it's not letting it by the turbo seals?
It’s had:200k is a decent run if it's the original turbo and has been mapped
That’s more involved, whipping the plugs out doesn’t render the car immobile for long.Really you'll want a leak down test , unless there is a massive gouge in the cylinder wall I doubt you will see much.
Forgive me, I’m thinking of something else clearly 🙈leak down test is done in the same way, plugs out?
