    Right guys/gals. There is something wrong with my 150 1.9cdti. (I will post pictures once home) but as soob as you open the bonnet the whole engine bay is covered in oil. The rocker cover has likr metal putty over Cyl 1 and the glow plug is cable tied to the injector pipe. When running for a while the head (under the putty) bubbles of which i can assume is diesel?? I get 240miles to a full tank. (Yes i can see the gauge move).. i was told its been mapped but im certain the fuel economy isnt that bad.. it seems to have all its power tho? 1500rpm its a little lumpy with throttle half down but soon as hits 1600rpm (ish) its fine turbo spools just before 2k all way to 4k.. is there anyone local to Mansfield/Nottingham/Derby that maybe ablr to look it my engine and say yes its fooked or it is repairable?

    Im guessing from a amateur view someones put the gloe plug in and injector to tight. Cracked the head and bodged it so it works?? So in my guess a new head??. Just really annoying as i wanted a diesel for the mileage but i wish i stuck with my 1.2 wagon r.
