well apparantly a common fault..... theres a 20 thou gouge between piston 3 and 4.

which i didnt know when i bought it  :smiley: until it started missing and there wasnt any compression on the way home lol. so i think it was temp fixed to get rid of it ............. what goes around comes around as they say

so the plan was to find a cheapish recon and get it fitted but i decided to much hassle get it done and dusted properly so went for a repair which should be done tomorrow! then i can start on my long list of problems with the aid of some brainiacs on here in the mk2 section  :grin:
