i have very basic mechanical knowledge :/
The recovery guy checked all the connections and all was fine, its deffo a compression problem
Is it possible it's siezed?
If it is compreesion issue and something like a valve or piston needs to be fixed/replaced what might this cost?
Quite a bit of oil cant say how much exactly as i didnt top it up myself, no he didnt take any spark plugs out or try and turn it over the way you said, as i mentioned ot was dark and pouring down with rain so he did what he could in the conditions
He wasnt a local mechanic, just a recovery guybwho came out to help try and get it started, although im sure he has a good knowldge of cars i am taking it somewhere for another opinion, i was just wondering how much its likely to cost me if a valve is bent or the engine is siezed or something like that
Ok so what would be the best/worst case scenarios? Im hoping its not to bad or expensive to fix :/
I know no one can give me a price, what i ment was whats the best i can hope for with regards to damage and what would be the worst thats been done to my engine?
Cheers for all the help and advice guys, il let you all know the outcome as soon as its in the garage . Thanks all
If air is pumping out air box, it's got to be the head gear is not aligned properly with the crank and the inlet valve is open for a duration of the up stroke of the piston. Hope it's not a bent or stuck valve but start with the timing marks and check they are where they should be.
