Going by how far the tensioner is protruding I think that more than the tensioner will be required for a permanent fix, however, replacing just the hydraulic tensioner may provide you with a temporary fix.

Sorry mate, I thought that it was a "solid" tile that you were after. The Mototile is a sponge effect tile and stains very easily, they also "slip" about once laid unless you fit them hard side to side of your garage, and they will also not take a heavy load. If you park your car on them for a few days, once you move the car, the imprint of the tyre will be obvious, and an axle stand will leave the same imprint effect I am afraid.

Rollatrac is what I use and is very popular. Best to buy preowned. I use this site a lot and It often comes up for sale. https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/121103/black-rollatrac-flooring Or if you prefer brand new: https://www.paddockspace.net/product-page/flooring-sq-meter I have some in blue which might be up for sale next month. How many square mts do you require?

98 ft-lb.

I always take the view that I don't have a problem until I have a problem and that would only materialise once the insurance company/companies do not accept liability. However there is nothing wrong with being proactive. Until then this is all hypothetical. Hopefully your own insurance company will do the decent thing and accept liability and make you an offer that you can't refuse. Good luck.

No need to splash the cash on this one, just remove the heat shields and you will be golden.

Are there no cats fitted to the car at all? If that is the case then you will have to find a friendly mot tester or fit a pair of OEM or aftermarket cats. Where are you based as I may be able to loan you a pair of cats to get you through your MOT? Regarding your rocker cover issue, the solution is below. Just give me a shout if I can help further.

You will have to carry out an accurate oil consumption test and report back if you want an informed opinion. What colour is the "smoke" Brand, and a change in oil viscosity might help as would installing a catch can. If you are getting excessive blue smoke on cold start up then that would suggest worn valve stem oil seals or worm valve guides. Excessive blue smoke on hard acceleration would suggest worn pistons, rings, or bores. Once you report back with the oil consumption numbers, further recommendations will follow. Are you running OEM cats, sport cats, or decats? Also with the ambient temperature being a bit cooler, you can expect extra exhaust emissions.

You say in your first post that it only smokes on hard acceleration. Your second post says that it only does it on start up. Which is it? Also how many miles do you get per 1lt of oil? What is the mileage of your car?
