Yes that's the badge. The 180 was from the 206 GTi wasn't it?

Doesn't look like anything was leaking into each other, or losing compression. Impressively buggered for something running ok though.

Yeah but I mean it wasn't leaking oil into the water or owt. Plus the sealing rings were still good so no surprise there were no signs of OMGHGF from it.
