Mine wasn't high mileage and the bores are knackered...barrel shaped.... reminds me it's been parked at the garden for years , I'll have to scrap it!

someone told me in the rocker cover there are 2 skins with a mesh in one to stop oil going in to the inlet manifold through a breather.
ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP
THANKS DAMO
Hello everyone, I am having similar issue though mine takes about a litre in a week depending on my usage. Fun part is there is absolutely no smoke or deposits on the exhaust pipe!!

I have the same problem ! and would like to call you for a word  if you don't mind ./ On mine the cat was blocked when i cleared this I have loads of blue smoke, and one cylinder oils the plug. I thought  valve seals at first but 2l of oil in 150 miles means rings on that cylinder,  and I'd like to ask you about access to pistons.
Cheers Tom

Damien, Ive removed your mobile number from your above post as it's not always a good idea to advertise it on a public forum.
 
Just use your PM button if you want to give your number out it's the safest way Thumbs Up

Hello dgart666,

How did you get on with your Primera?

I have exactly the same problem. P12, 1.8, 2004, smoking like a train but runs well.

I haven't investigated yet but I am expecting ring/bore wear when it's opened up.

I am very interested to hear how hard it was to change the rings, were the bores badly scored, did you need to change any pistons, was it successful in the end etc. etc?

If you let me know your phone number I would like to call you to ask your advice, it might be easier this way, rather than trying to type everything out.

Thanks
Brendan
