Ive had some ongoing issues with the 110 since September.
It appears to have some excessive blow by, its blowing quite heavily from the crank breather and most concerning from the dipstick now.
At the time of video it was fully warmed up after a 30minute drive.
Also now getting fairly heavy white smoke on start up in the mornings, it does generally clear after a mile or two but sometimes stays for a while.
Ive also noticed on occasion it its running on 4cyl, then kicks back in 5.

It is also using coolant, not a lot but I have noticed it dropping in the head tank over the past few months. Not leaking out of the top, no coolant leaks.
Heater is hot, no bubbling or gurgling from the header tank.
No creamy substance on the oil cap.
Oil cap doesnt fire off if left upside down on the fill hole
Can sometimes be hard to start
Replaced as part of other ongoing issues -
Injector seals - genuine LR
Fuel pump - gen LR
Fuel filter - Mahle
Fuel filer housing - GORE
injector harness - Britpart G rated
No oil in ECU plug
Original injectors - 167k
Oil changed every 6k with 10w40
EGR blanked 80k ago
Nissens radiator 70k ago
Coolant replaced 20k ago with correct Red OAT
Im thinking I need a compression test and Im also thinking the piston rings are going or the heads going or both
Anyone got any other suggestions?
