hi there well i got a new timming belt ,water pump and tensioner fitted yesturday.and when i got the car back there was a realy strong smell of oil in the car...i didnt think much of it as i regurly check the oil and change it every six months.so this mornin heated the car and set of to work which is thirty miles away but on the way back home i put the car from 3rd to 4th at about 50mph and the car lost all power pulled in at the side of the road and the car felt as if it was going to stall...i wasnt far from home so i drive on but no power realy strugled to get home..opened the bonnet and oil every where i thought i was going to be sick...diped it a wile later and empty...rang the garage that put the belt in and had a word with the chap which is a friend of the family and he came out and had a look...took off the rocker cover and the gasket was broke and a bit missing off it!!!!!!!filled it back with oil and re fitted the rocker cover and still lumpy i must say when we started it up it let out a cloud of smoke i know this isnt a good sign...he wants the car back up to strip it back but i dont know if i can trust him...any ideas thanks
