    Default 1.6 SRI Turbo...

    http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/773454.htm

    Right i've just started my car, started warming her up... and i notice smoke from the front. So i have a look and the breather tank is blowing small amounts of smoke out of it.. So clearly a piston ring is on its way out.

    I have spent soo much money on this car, i just cannot possibly spend any more. Ive ran out .

    had new tyres on front, new ignition components.. Was running brilliantly.

    Please will someone with a bit more knowledge of cars take this off me, and bring it back to it's former glory.

    First with 2k take's it away !

    Thats alot of spec for little money.. i know if i broke it, id get more.. but i dont have the : Time, money, space or skills .

    Bring on the push bike

    Just had a look at your pics. Car looks good. On your breather tank, should there not be a pipe on that bare outlet?
    My Rebuild

    They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....
