truCido Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 You having to top the oil up at all? any smoke from the exhaust? Any oil in the engine bay? Anything going on in the breather pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer1105 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 tbh i bought car and it just went to Mot and this is all the mechanic has told me it failed on. When i first started it the car smocked a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Could be piston rings...hard to say then really :s could also be head gasket, check oil level and coolant levels, see if theres coolant in oil and vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Considering you dont know whats wrong without further investigation, it would be impossible to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewrssll Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 depends weather its a petrol or diesel. engines are 10 a penny. if your not handy on the tools then its going to mean a good wedge. get the basics looked at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 has it been stood for ages and then taken straight for MOT?Change the oil for a heavier weight and hope for the best IMO, it is likely to be valve stem seals/piston rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer1105 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yep been stood for a year and had nothing changed so maybe bleed it and refill? Also its a petrol i dare say if i get the MOT paperwork i can figure out more just mechanic has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
