I assume so, certainly had asked them to be done... hmm...
I feel I should go round the garage and unleash the fury... or fill their premesis with oil smoke, one of the two...

mine burns a litre of oil a week... just put it down to the engine needing piston rings...

white/blue smoke out the exhaust under acceleration...

The C16XE burning about a litre of oil per 100 miles now...
Used to be quite bad with stem seals gone then got it mapped at dastek when put the mantzel etc on and was a bit better...
Now since cam belt snap and subsequent rebuild new valves, stem seals etc.. the oil burning is far worse than it ever was? I thought it would have been far better!
Any ideas?
