Hi,
I bought an N Reg Rover 414 with a blown headgasket last year, as I already had a K Reg Rover 214 we were advised to have the engine's swapped over so a couple of hundred quid later had a nice car that was running well.
9 Month's later we did a service including oil and filter change, ever since the car has been burning oil but not all the time just every now and again. Then it got really bad and I smogged out manchester. The second I took it into the garage it stopped smoking. They checked the oil and water level's and everything seemed fine (apart from needing a little top up of oil) The car didn't smoke for over a week until a police car got behind me and it smoked so badly the police man pulled me over and made me promise to take it to a garage immediatly. which I did.Again it decided to stop smoking but the oil was back down to the minimum, there is no water in the oil and no oil in the water. Any idea's anyone??
Please i'm desparate. Do I scrap the car? or can I fix it myself on a limited budget?
Thank's for reading.
