I'm new today. I've found the site useful lots of times. Finally I've joined. I have a 2000 1.3 Skoda Felicia. I'm based in West Suffolk. Pod

I bought a second car for spares. It's in too good condition to break though. Body is solid, it's got M.O.T.,70,000 on the clock.

I do need some advice though.

It's obviously boiled over previously, it's got orange staining on the header tank. Smokes,a bit white I think.

I changed the oil and all looked well. It started ticking over and the oil light went off.

Then I went to set the tappets, I found huge amounts of "coal" in the rocker box, which I cleaned out.

I started it up and the erratic tick over came back and within 2 minutes the oil light came back on.

Compression test shows no huge differences between cylinders.

Any advice would be really welcome. Pod.
