I still dont know, thats what I'm trying to figure out, I think the oil pump has gone as they were a bit dry & stiff when I took them out, and I think the cambelt was loose as its missing a few teeth on it! Shitty local garage grrrrr... still I dont really mind, just makes me want tyo put a new engine in more and more!!
