    I've had a search through the forum posts, and found a few similar discussions, but wanted some advice for my situation. I've got a 08 Astra H 1.4 Z14XEP with 119k on the clock.

Recently was running a bit s**t with a misfire on cylinder 4 and burning oil pretty badly blue smoke from tailpipe intermittently. I thought I'd go ahead and service it and hope for the best.
