AMT Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Kinda glad I didn't get an 06/07 now...nearly did. My HR is on nearly 82K and running like a dream and it gets USED, not using oil at all (thankfully). All good except for the stupid HR jerk at 1K revs....grrr, terrible in traffic. Can't wait to get to 100K, never had a car at it before haha... the sad things in life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybp Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I spent £1500 ish can't remember exactly got an engine with 40,000 Km on it even came with most ancillaries from Nippon Auto Spares in derby then it's just fitting well that and the obvious while it's out clutch/release bearing and service items still be less than going to global Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Why not try fitting a baffled oil catch can and start looking for where the issue might be, would rule out some problems like worn valve stem seals maybe, do your spark plugs have oil in them? From poor seals etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverB Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Andy, I'll give Nippon a browse, although as has been mentioned elsewhere, this is a common issue for the Rev Up model, so I could well be replacing a faulty engine with another faulty engine! I've had the spark plugs replaced recently (July), didn't do it myself however they didn't mention any oil on them. Where would I fit the oil catch can?

Rock_Steady Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Mine never used any oil either, and that got spanked hard. But yours wan't modified, was it Dan? (intonation goes up on the question tag as i don't know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crank case breather pipes (the black plastic bits your spark plugs go though, left drivers side is at the front, passengers is at the back under the throttlebody/intake pipe), one off each bank.
