Hi, have booked car into Main Agents for compression test to see if this supplies an answer to possible high oil pressure or something. As you say I do not have any equipment for any sort of testing, and only the one Landy garage in S.Devon at Exeter. Thanks for your interest. Had 2 new camshaft seals fitted on Friday, and front one blew out again while with the garage doing a road test. Did not lead to any answers. I’m limited by Blue Badge and DoB ‘35. Will await garage results of test. Thanks again for trying to help.

Tom Adams to 'Bustedknuckles. Current situation - Main Agent fitted new front and rear caps/seals. Cap came out while being road tested by M/Agent, but they could not find anything faulty with the engine, and recommended compression test. Result of compression test:- lowest 92, then 94, then 95, then 3 at 100%. They say all hoses and breathers have been checked and no fault found. They then resealed in new front and rear camshaft cap/seals (which the original RAC mechanic had done), and told me the engine is fault free, they could do no more, and gave the car back to me. Plus of course, their Invoice for the time spent testing. The car is with me now, running fine, and I'm happy to have a car with no engine faults. But with a question mark as to what I do if/when the cap comes off again. So my problem is solved, without answer. Case closed.
