Thanks for the reply, kinda looking for someone local an individual, Leek is a little too far for me to go but cheers anyway.

I've got a oil leak coming from near the top of the engine, also the Aircon is not working properly I had it tested by halfords and the psi

was 110 so they could not top it up! it just blows warm air ?

Oil leak could be a number of things, mine was a broken oil light sender.

STR8SIX have a full air con diagnostic system, they sorted mine out in no time, I can not recommend them mstrongly enough.

They do have some loan cars to get you home if they need to keep the car for a day or so.

Thanks for that Scotty someone else said it might be the rocket cover! so hopefully thats all it is ! The car also smells like it's running a bit rich and splutters quite a bit and when it's warn it sometimes stalls, not sure if that's normal ?

Cheers for the reply

No that isn't normal at all. Apart from getting the spluttering/stalling looked at, if there is a smell of fuel in the engine bay, please check the flexible fuel lines where they come in under the water expansion tank as a matter of urgency! They are renowned for leaking as they age and can spray fuel across the exhaust manifold if they do let go!
