If it was down on compression could be the rings passing or head gasket fault, If it's in a garage i would have expected them to have checked the head anyway.  :undecided:

they thought it mite of been the rings, thats why its using alot of oil and the spark plugs have oil on them. the garage didnt really do much apart from look for a rattle for 2 hours that they still couldnt find, thats why its parked outside my house again!!!

Gonna get my hubby to take the head off and have a look cos i have got a friend wiv an engine workshop and he will do all the internal stuff for me if it needs it.

i would have thought so also and at least checked your coolant bottle to see if theres oil mixed with the water and checked your oil level this would show up mayonaising on the dipstick which would give you the likelyhood of a failing h/g if the compressions are down equally on all four cylinders or just one or two  :undecided:
