Hi All,
While changing the plugs and leads at the weekend, I noticed small blobs of oil in the expansion tank (never a good sign) - I had the headgasket done about 18 months ago but don't know if they did a proper flush of the system to remove oil from then. What other symptoms should I check to decide if it's gone again? The oil filler cap looks fine to me and there's no overheating.
It is driving rough at the moment (better since I changed plugs/leads and leaned off the mixture after seeing the state of the plugs) - it's fine if I give it plenty of power but coughs and misfires under gentle acceleration (especially when cold) - improves a little when warm but doesn't go away. Find I have to use the choke more.
Admittedly I've now racked up 135,600 miles on original engine
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone has a good TU3S (85bhp model) and facilities to fit it for not much money (!!!!!) then it would be greatly appreciated! (Warrington, Cheshire Area - UK) Haha!
Regards, Matt
