Just been round to do a few tests on the car, looks like there's some water in the oil signifying a possible head gasket failure, also donr a compression test, pistons 1,3 and 4 are fine, showing 140psi, but No.2 piston has no compression at all, hence loss of power. So most probably the piston rings are totally shot or the piston crown is holed or both

heres what ya need

http://www.flat4online.co.uk/catalog...43ae1053c1c764

comes with a full gasket set

For parts, I highly recommend Roger Clark Motorsports, Olly and Matt are extremely helpful and they'll get the part sent to you for next day, get all my goodies there now. May not be the cheapest, but are the best
