Hey guys - just wanted to make a quick post saying thanks to all the people who offer technical advice and support on these forums :)

My 1995 Magna (purchased after my 2000 Magna got cleaned up by a drink driver) recently began blowing smoke, burning more oil than a Kuwait oil well and sounded like it was running on broken glass.

It was to the point that I was on the brink of taking it to the wreckers when I stumbled across this forum. 20 minutes of reading a couple of easy to understand guides (and I am by no means a mechanic) a little bit of work on the car and now it is running like it just came off the production line!

So thanks again! Hopefully this is the first and last time I have to visit this site (the address of which should be given to everyone when they purchase a Magna) :)

All the best and keep up the good work - it is very much appreciated :)

you're welcome
