^^^^^^Who told you that?

That sort of muck is often caused by doing short journeys. My commute is 9 miles each way so I do a long run at the weekend to get the engine red hot and remove all the condensation from the oil and exhaust.

 

[ben_p]

year i only really travel 2-3 on each trip i do always stopping n starting, is the condesation thing true then

Check the radiator for any damage. Also check at the back of the pipe connections.

if you only do short journeys then the mayo will be due to that, give the car a blast and i bet it goes
