Thanks Gary,

I,ve just allowed myself to breath again

I,ll change the oil & filter tomorrow & run it up to temp slowly on tick over & see what happens , another gulp of air

To be totally honest, as the engine had a full service history etc when I bought it, I haven,t even changed the Oil stem seals,
Would this be a wise move ? it doesn,t have excessive smoke on start up.

cheers
