Hiya, thanks for the info, its booked in for a service so will get the garage to have a look, at first I thought it was burning oil, but it only happens when stationery, not when on the move ? in addition there are no other signs of this, blue smoke, excessive consumption of oil etc. I have bought a good quality 5w30 oil for it, but it looks like water, just wondering about going up to 10w30 ? Do you know if the bush in the linkage you mention can be greased up or lubed ? once again cheers for you assistance & comments....
