Marcus, a c20xe? Redtop engine? It will help a lot if you could get it started. Hear it running and listen for the tappet sound, should go quite after a few seconds, if not its not a major problem but they are prone to get noisy the more worn they are. Oil sump leaks are very common, but not hard to sort out.
lmao I will take a few pics of the car with my camera phone, digital camera is well and trully knackered.
Nova is not for anything but driving hard and for me its done the job.
At the moment the poor Nova's on axle stands awaiting a new gearbox hopefully today, shattered 4th and 5th

Gearbox partially stripped. Lost cause so going to change the whole lot.
