I haven´t seen the results of a compression test, but he pointed out that there´s blow by at the oil filler cap and the blue smoke when it´s cold is also a bit of a no-brainer.
He showed me how to cut open the breather hose as an emergency measure - I don´t want to muck around with it at all but I´ll pack a small stanley knife in case!
My Dad reminded me earlier of a 7k mile, 12 year old Polo he was interested in many years ago and which puffed more blue smoke than Thomas and his friends and ran like a pig - the moral being that low miles doesn´t always mean cared-for!
