Ok thanks for all the previous answers.....
Just before xmas I was going along at 50 Unable to increase my speed, when I started losing power going up hill, and struggled along at 40mph.....whereupon I called the AA out......
He checked it out and changed the spark plugs that were clogged up with oil.
No problem for 2/3 weeks then same problem again.
Anyway today my mechanic did tests and piston 1,3,4 were producing 12/13 bar pressure and no 2 was producing just 1 bar......whatever that means.....
He said he could strip it down and rebuild, replacing parts, could be a 10hr job and might be 1k.....which despite buying the car last year for 600 and recently spent 300 on tyres and exhaust pipe to get it thru the MOt should I spend this or try and buy a recycled engine from a breakers, or use the 1k and buy another vehicle or put it towards a. Lease hire van>> Another thought on the recent oil comsumption increase.

>> Are the breathers on the engine blocked?
