Some of you may know that the Vauxhall combo van I bought last February with money borrowed from my mum blew its engine up in April, and I borrowed yet more money to get another engine and pay the garage to fit it.
About 2 months ago I noticed the red engine oil light come on as I swept round a right hander, so at the first opportunity I checked the oil level and found it on the bottom of the stick, so topped it up. This evening, the same on a right hander. Just took the filler cap off, and found mayonnaise on the inside of it.
'kin Vauxhall, I'll NEVER buy another and I'd advise everyone else to steer clear of 'em too!

@ICBM I've never seen a replacement engine dismantled, other than external parts, IE Alternator, Turbo etc. If the garage was paid to fit the engine, then they would have done exactly that. At work we won't fit any parts the customer supplies, unless they can be verified as to their quality and whether they're correct to the vehicle.
it does look like the head gasket is knackered.
@Phil_aka_Pip usually the difference from the top to bottom mark on the dipstick is 1 ltr. it's worth checking oil levels weekly.
