So just to keep every one up to date the ENGINE SUPPLIER now has my car and we are at the agreement that if it is something I have done (which I know I haven't)I will pay and if it is the engine he will pay. He has now come to the conclusion it is engine based and has removed the engine and striped the heads off. He says he can't find any faults in the head gaskets and is having the heads pressure tested but I will not know the answer until after the weekend now. He is just as baffled as myself. He did find a lot of gunk in the expansion tank and in the coolant pipe to the turbo but has said they were not blocked and would not have caused the symptoms I have. (Just like to say have had both of these items off during the engine swap and did not find anything in them) So if the heads come back fine he will have to look into a crack in the block, fingers crossed for me that he finds something engine related as this could become expensive otherwise. All this said the ENGINE SUPPLIER has been very helpful,understanding and polite. I will let you know how I get on next week as I am sure everyone wants to know the answer.
