Yeah it was overheating that day I drove up to Brisbane only on the highway, it's never done that before (or since) and around town has always been fine. There were no signs of BHG either but I havn't looked at the coolant since. (Dipstick oil looks fine) Will check it tomorrow arvo too.
The timing could have been out for god knows how long, I noticed sometimes it was a bit wierd starting the car.. so I guess there's a good chance engine is stuffed due to detonation or something?
I've reset the ECU, no difference except it idles higher obviously until it's sorted itself out again.
Annd I cleaned out the plugs today, forgot to mention that sorry.. the 4th plug was covered in oil

, well I guess that's definitely telling me something (my cam cover seals are leaking a little, but on this plug the
tip was covered in oil), the others looked a little dry with only slight whiteness on the tips?
Will have to see the results of the compression test before trying anything else I suppose.
