Thanks for all help guys
Re plugs: yes they spark a nice blue colour. :-)
I have confirmed the bolts have stretched and the gasket is leaking. Hence the no compression. So I'll soon have that all sorted.
Thanks again guys. Your all great :-)

Took it to a garage I know well. He's well on top of things at his place.
Forgotten to ask for the numbers. But it's cylinder 1 & 2 that are well down at idle. But runs 3 cylinders when on move.
Been told its easy fix. So I'll do it. Just need head bolts and another gasket. Get a flat edge and check the head hasn't warped again but don't think it has.
