Quarter of a litre for 600 miles isnt so bad. Mine doesnt use any but some would say 1000 miles to a litre is ok

1/4l per 600 is fine... probably just a weeping rocker cover gasket.

As Tony says (or didn't say in this manner), but is it bolloxs OK (or insinuated to be the norm) to be using oil on a (what we assume) standard 2ltr Scoob engine.

If your 2ltr is using oil something is causing it and on a standard example that is good, this should not be the case!
