Now happy!

Ok update!!!!

Oil/ filter all changed, turns out the oil filter had collapsed (probably never been changed).

Diag. through up an oil issue but now the fluids have been changed thats gone and according to The Gaffer is running like a dream!

£130 all in. Phew that WAS A RELIEF!

Thanks for all your input!
 
Good to hear. An oil service/change is never a bad thing either so the £130 is well spent and id put down to general maintainance rather than an outlay to fix something.

Good luck with the ownership.
 
Sweet. I guess it must have blocked the oil returning to the sump, hence the low oil light. Probably screwed up the crank case ventilation and dumped some oil into the intake - hence the smoke. Hopefully no oil starvation damage done. Time to enjoy the car again!
 
Out of interest, what service history did the car purportedly have?

I ask as this could be another case of FSH or even FBMWSH meaning little...
