Cheers guys... So went out first thing this morning and checked the oil level, the level was nearer the higher of the 2 little spots on the stick... looks like its totally fine, its not even black like all of my other cars ive owned ha ha...
Started the car after its been standing since yesterday morning, went straight to the back and i couldn't really tell if it was blue or not, if anything it may have had a slight blue tinge for 1 second and then nothing, only condensation. so it doesnt look like its using oil in my opinion.
My neighbour decided to knock on me yesterday and say he could do the valve seals and work for £125... im kind of thinking this is a way of getting work.... any ideas?
