Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

They have said it's the piston rings -.cost outweighs either changing the car or new engine!! Any thoughts of what else it may be....brining to another garage tomorrow to get 2nd…

Leaking injectors can leak petrol into the piston cylinder and it will seep past even good piston rings and mix with engine oil.

No one can tell you on hear if the piston rings are worn or not. It would need a compression test

But petrol in oil has to be injectors
