[QUOTE="jpjeep26uk, post: 436639, member: 20690"] Hi all, I have searched just in case this has already been covered and nothing stands out. So...I've pretty much exhausted my options for curing a new backfire and it appears to be a knackered number 2 piston ring or the piston itself. Not a happy bloke. Has anyone done this themselves and do you have any advice on how to replace rings or a piston? Or if anyone here is UK based then maybe the name of a reputable garage in the Midlannarrow anything downds? Is there a list of things I'll need to buy before I start etc. Thanks everyone . (Picture shows the cloudy exhaust output immediately after ignition) Drove past my girlfriend in her car and she could smell petrol from inside her car- not sure if that helps narrow anything down haha) [ATTACH=full]120613[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
