[QUOTE=pippyrips]any news? is this in the c-spec? 
[/QUOT
well not sure whats gone wrong with it but she's sprung a little leak
it's a vauxhall ageila 998cc 04 plate with17k on the clock
it's not got a hard life cos it's more or less only used to ferry the kids to school and a mile or 2 for her for work
so she's booked in on friday in vauxhall
the oil looks like its coming from a seal d/s side
one of the problems ive found with this engine is it takes an age to warm up and 2sec's to cool down(very quick engine climate change) so this is something to do with the crap on the cap ,it is only on the cap aswell (not on dip stick) or inside casings as far as i can see so i'm gona keep very close eye on it until friday cos it needs 2 be use'd for 2 day's 6miles per day the oil leak is not gusher so as long as i make sure that it's topped up it will be ok finger's crossed
thanks for the input all
