Popped into garage tonight and explained cars lack of use in the last few years and also that the oil was changed last year and not really driven the last 15 months ( just started every so often )
He seems to think that's caused lots of condensation which has caused the problem.
He said he put fresh oil in and took the car for a long drive ( with trade plates ) and it seemed fine. White smoke to start obviously and then drove perfectly. No overheating or water loss so all seems fine ! phew ! Wonder if it might be worth doing another oil change and filter to give it a good clear out ??
He went on to say he is amazed at how well the car drives/feels for a 22 year old vehicle !
I was quite worried today as I've become quite attached to this car in the very short space of time I've had her. Slightly weird as I haven't even driven her yet ???
Anyways fingers crossed that after new tyres go on ( I've put on Goodyear all seasons if anyone has any reviews ) that she will be good to go
