After 5 enjoyable years of abuse the engine finally said f**k it, I've had enough of this.

I will, JE's will be going back in as the symptoms appear to be a cracked ringland on piston 4 (1.4bar on stocks was stupid but fun while it lasted)

It looks like the turbo is knackered too but not sure what route to go down yet, Pipes that shouldn't have oil in them .... have caramelized oil them :(
