    Ok, Will have to take it to the garage for this, I don't have the tools to do a proper test on it.

    I guess, this is pointing to piston rings or bent valves? I'm going more piston rings due to I have noticed I'm losing some oil now!

    It could be a compression ring problem but it certainly not a common problem, my guess is the cam belt was timing screwed up and it has bent a valve. Any decent garage should have a diesel compression tester and the M10x1 adapter for the glow plug hole. Once removed, I don't recommend reusing glow plugs, they can easily snap and ruin your day.

    Ok, this makes sense especially as the timing was out it could have caused a fair bit of damage.

    In you opinion would it be worth fixing it all, jibbing a new (used) engine in or just cutting my losses and moving on with the cost of labour etc.

    Finding a good used engine will be difficult, get a compression test done first.
