Big lumps of metals and spanners. Including servicing and fluids.

Before my original 1.9 DG rebuild It was on 120K the compressions were all around 115 to 125, I rebuilt not due to this but due to leaking jacket seals. The difference in power afterwards was small but definite and the starting was much better. Post rebuild compressions were 150 ish . I would start saving for a refresh!!!
In the mean time if it starts and doesn't smoke or dribble water then It is GOOD, keep camping.
