Well, got it back from the diesel specialist today, has improved power, still not starting any better though. I dipped the oil and the level has went up again, I asked about this and he said that if its using water, thats what is in the oil, appearantly the antifreeze mixes well with oil and doesn't cream, so he suggested giving the head bolts a quick nip down, failing this, looks like I'll be doing a headgasket. Good news is though, the timing was out
