The car was blue last year, and after doing some work on the car i realised it had been resprayed. so after a quick call to some sexy receptionist at newport pagnell, it turns out it left the factory in "Fiesta Red" So we returned it back to red just in time for the wedding last christmas.

thanks mate i will look into that.
my mates got a special machine which does a full leak test. it it can tell u is its loosing from inlet/ exhaust or through the rings.
My thoughts are its a few valves, probably to do with the change over from leaded all them years ago. anyway the test will show all.
nice to have an idea before we pull it apart.
The engine should be 325bhp, so im almost certain the block/bottom end is fine. as it should be near bullet proof.
anyway i'll let you know how i get on.
