If they say there's oil in the cyl and no comp i would go for hole in the piston, you don't know of a garage with an oscilloscope thingy that could look inside through the spark plug hole just to see if the piston ok 😎👍

No compression would most likely be a hole in the piston or the piston crown has broken off and stuck at the top of the cylinder, i'm not sure if the non turbo engine has the same fault as the turbo engine as in it can run lean on cyl 3 as its the last in line to get fuel 😎👍

Could be a few things letting oil in to the cylinder, could be valve guide's, piston rings worn or cylinder head gasket or cracked block, what did the comp test on cyl 3 say? Was it much the same as the other cylinders? 😎👍

Got her another years mot, passed with flying colours so give her a big drink of lovely v power mmmm yum 😎👍

Cool mate, we can probs do either day but i will let you know later what the plan is, better get back to fixing this road sweeper before the boss man comes haha 😂 😎👍

Not sure yet mate but will probs find out tonight, we usually meet somewhere central where we can have a cuppa and a bite to eat as i'm down in the borders and he in stenhousemuir, last time we headed down the coast to north berwick for a chippy so maybe this time we could go up the way to st Andrews or sowts but as i said before we're quite easy going so if you or anyone else have any ideas thats grand bud 😎👍

Seeing as there seems to be a few more of us from gods country here now from the likes of fife and the central belt we should have a wee meet and run out somewhere, myself and a mate with his sti are meeting up this weekend not sure where about or what day yet but we both easy so could do Sat or Sun. Would anyone like to join us 😎👍

Welcome that is one lovely motor mate, really like the look of that model looks proper aggressive 😎👍

Looking sweet matey 😎😎👍

Happy days mate bet you're glad to have got it all sorted and on the road, that bov looks quality like you'll soon be in the world of bwaaah tsssssh lol 😎👍

Looking good mate and that bov looks like a decent bit of kit, i have a forge adjustable one on my classic which is quite good but not sure if they made them for the hawk 😎👍

Looking absolutely mint bud i wish my bay looked like that 😎👍

Nice one i think we will all have to get together mate and organise something 👍 It sure is great, has to be one of the best racing series going about at the moment and it nearly always rains at knockhill, it can be 25 degrees in dunfermline and minus 10 at knockhill lol 😂😂, we make sure we are prepared for any weather

Gonna look sweet when done mate

I hope she appreciates the sacrifice you're making just so she can get on the road lol 😂

Haha that wouldn't work then 😂, insurance is a fortune for the young ones we just got a new apprentice stareted with us who's 17 and he paying 2.5k for a fiesta 1.25 and thats with a black box 😱😱

How old is the wee man bud, my lad is 12 they could always come along for a ride and to look at the other scoobs 😎👍

Cool we may have to meet up and boost in together if you like, we normally stay at my mum's in kincardine on the Saturday night so we don'thave to drive all the way up again in the morning as we go for the whole weekend, we have never been brave enough to camp coz knockhill has its own micro climate haha 😂

Anyone ever go to the touring cars, me and the missus go every year knockhill and croft, would be good to get a few of us going

Aye same here i have my two every other weekend mate but more or less free any other time, weekends probs best for me but could do evenings with a bit of notice 😎👍

We should arrange a wee meet between us coz would defo be up for that and a wee run somewhere and could probs get my mate with his sti to come along aswell, they have general meets at hermiston gate aswell😎👍

Welcome to the club buddy 😎👍

I'm down in the borders bud, there are a couple off meets up the central belt way i think one of the best ones is tartan tarmac i've never been to one yet but my mate from stenhousemuir goes to some and says its really good, i would be up for a meet seeing as there seems to be a few folk from around your area joining the club, gfb are ment to be pretty good so could be worth a shot coz as like @Kdyjas says hks are quite expensive 😎👍

Firstly welcome to the club 👍, for the likes of oem parts most use importcarparts.co.uk the boy Luke there knows his stuff and the parts are reasonably priced, i used scoobyworks i think it was to get my fuel pump and their service was great but you can also get things like that from ebay aswell not so sure about a turbo although a few folk on here use scoobyclinic as their turbos seem to get a good rep, oh and thats a tidy looking motor you have there 😎👍

Sure is pal it's good being able to put the foot to the floor and not have to worry
