Judging by the black sealant used on the rocker cover gasket Dave, I already know the answer to that.

Id bet a Months wages that the new liners that Dawn paid for have not been fitted.

That 1.8 sounds like it can sup more than trikey? (The Lincolnshire Snuffeller)

From all the evidence the problem seems to boil down to the bores, rings and pistons.

Exchange bottom end required.---

Exchange everything required is what I am thinking. �� Looking at the bill again, I think I got it wrong, it had liner shims, not liners, but the cost of the fix and a radiator was still £750, all for a car I am now afraid to go out in!

Its booked for mot on the 27th to see what/if there are any more horrors, as it will be the first mot in my ownership. (not at the garage that did the work I might add!)

Then Trikey has very generously offered to help me find out what is really wrong with the engine and hopefully figure the best solution! (Thank you Andy)

A compression test is quite quick and easy and a good starting point.
