ste91 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 its burning oil. could be piston rings so very pricey. arent you gettin a conversion done? if you are ill grab your engine in it now? I knew it was burning oil any scrappies near you mate? go and have a look in starlets/corollas and see if you can get the engine out of one that's at a scrappy, like if it's been in a crash and the body is fucked but the engine (atleast the block) is fine, you could always use a 5E-FE if you can't find a 4E.

ste91 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Did you write down the details from the ad on AT? Like in the description where it tells you how many miles it's done, what colour it is, what condition it's in and all that, did it say anything along the lines of:"runs fine, good condition, no problems"I'm sure there's things you can do about it if he claimed there were no problems when there is, how much did you pay for it? How much tax and MOT when you bought it?Because it looks to me like he's had problems with it and flogged it so he doesn't have to sort them out himself, especially if the tax is nearly up.
