Default save my xmas

I THOUGHT WHEN THE GARAGE RUNG ME.

jumped out of bed (night shift) "we got your car working"
so i pegged it 1 mile down the road all excited.

GOT THERE..........bonnett up...bad sign saw the bloke "ah just about to ring you"

bloody car they finally jumped it and it went but once turned off it wouldnt start.
Lazy starter motor they reckon????

so i said i will take her home get a starter in jan and get it put on.

jumped the car for me.....and zooooooom i went.....NOT REALLY F*****G car it was like driving a 1 litre deisel van....went to boost her and boy it holds back, never saw any boost as my boost and vacum hose on the gauges blew off so i had to pull over.

horrible drive, horrible feeling, brakes grinding, steering vibrating.

AND WORST..........overheating like a dog on heat

so she is cooling outside my house wont start.

ANY IDEAS LADS>>>>>PLEASE???????????????????????????

is it compression?

the car was fine before the oil seal broke. and when jumped started purrs like a dream.....but running fast at 2000rpm.

we changed the head to a stage 2, it had done 300 miles before going on my car, all timing is ok, leads are cool, water and oil.

save my xmas people
