Bugger my gamble with the 182 has failed .
Been really spluttey so tried used injectors and plugs which made no difference so stuck it in for a compression test and leak down test .
1=9.5 bar
2=8 bar
3=6 bar
4=5 bar
so seems to be head gasket leak between 3 and 4 .
To sort this i guess i'm looking at head gasket kit , then cambelt , dephaser and water pump , plus all fluids or take a gamble on a used engine but then that would need cambelt etc replaced.
Bit of a bummer as it only passed it's mot in may.
